Hector Rondon (CL-Cubs) Hector Rondon picked up the win but was unable to nail down the save in today’s game. He gave up two hits and a run in his outing. But despite this blip, Rondon is a closer whose performance is likely to improve over the 2ndhalf. With an ERA at 3.93, he has been extraordinarily unlucky with a BABIP of .358 and a 66.5% LOB rate both of which should regress in the positive direction. Averaging 10.22 K/9 innings and with a superb 12.4% swinging strike rate and a 50% GB rate, it should be no surprise that Rondon’s xFIP is almost a run lower than his ERA.
