2024 Player Outlook
2023 Recap: Kirby took a big leap last year as he made 31 starts and pitched 190.2 innings while recording a 3.35 ERA. We saw his control get even better and Kirby pushed his walk rate under one per nine innings as his WHIP fell to 1.04.
2024 Outlook: The improvement in control did come along with a decrease in his strikeout rate to 8.12 per nine innings and that is something we have to at least be aware of. Kirby's barrel-rate did go in the right direction decreasing to 7.5% and there is a lot to like here, but you can't overvalue him either.
