Now he's a post-surgery prospect. 2019 was ugly: 6.13 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, 125 K in 173+ IP. He turned things around August, 3.86 ERA, only to collapse late in the season. The August recovery prompted this article: https://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/luca...ng-his-season/
This was before the September collapse. Still, we have seen other pitchers finally figure out how to use their stuff. Carlos Corrasco burned a lot of fantasy players. Giolito is still only 24 years old. What will his age 25 season look like?

This is a lot of words and images about a pitcher who remains a work in progress. Giolito still has to prove himself, still has to prove he can stay ahead of his opponents, and then put them away. Again, I wrote good things about Giolito in March, and then he was dreadful. The mission isn’t yet accomplished. But Giolito, at least, is finding something in 2018 that he can be proud of. While he never got demoted to the minors, he seems to have taken steps to salvage what otherwise would’ve been a lost and tremendously disappointing season.
