2023 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: There were some concerns for Valdez last year as his groundball rate decreased dropped from 66.5% to 54.2%. It shouldn't have been surprising then to see his ERA jump to 3.45 to go along with a 4.33 xERA although his 3.50 FIP does paint a better picture. 

2024 Outlook: Valdez is dependable, but there are some concerns as to whether he can truly take the next step to be more than a strong SP3 or back-end SP2. He did strikeout a batter an inning, but Valdez needs to get the groundball rate back up.
