02/01/2012 13:21 By the Numbers: Pitchers with a new look
Why should owners have even higher hopes for Cole Hamels in 2012? Could Homer Bailey finally be able to deliver on his potential? Our Al Melchior profiles four pitchers to remember of Draft Day.
Since his 2008 rookie campaign, Clayton Kershaw has improved in each successive season, but his biggest improvement came last season. In the span of a few short years, the lefty has morphed from a wild youngster with promise to a mature control artist, and his progress was rewarded with the 2011 NL Cy Young Award. Just because Kershaw has tamed his command doesn't mean he isn't still a strikeout artist, as he exceeded a strikeout per inning for the third straight season. There is little in Kershaw's profile that suggests that he can't have a repeat performance in 2012. Kershaw will likely enter next season as one of the three most-coveted -- if not the single most-coveted -- starting pitcher in Fantasy. Be prepared to use a first-round or early second-round pick to draft him in any format. (Updated 1/4/12)
