Andrew Heaney surprised Dodgers fans Against Twin

People who saw Andrew Heaney for the first time against the Twins thought he was going to be great. The Los Angeles Dodgers fans thought for a second that Andrew Friedman would let them down. You should think again.

The veteran left-hander had just had the worst season of his life

Because Andrew Heaney was quickly signed to a one-year, $8.5 million deal by the Los Angeles Dodgers, everyone was a little confused. The veteran left-hander had just had the worst season of his life. Yankees fans chased him out of the Bronx with torches and pitchforks.

No, the Dodgers didn’t need to pay that much. Afterward, couldn’t they have looked for better options? It was a 5.83 ERA and two home runs per nine innings last year for him, so that’s not good. How important was this to you?

During the last few years, we kept hearing that Heaney had to be unlocked. Then, you wonder what that meant. For the last two years, Heaney has been in the MLB. He’s pitched in 121 games for the last two years. His record is 4.72. He has only made 23 or more starts in a season twice. It’s true, but… During the game, he had a fastball spin rate that was in the 90% range and a curveball spin that was in the 67% range. The Dodgers can use that, right? Apparently!

Andrew Heaney’s first game for the Dodgers against the Twins went well

That bad start to spring training now looks like a lot of unnecessary stress for the fans. He made a weird mistake that led to the one run that came across the plate, which meant that the game was going to end. They took him off the field after 4.1 innings. He had three hits, walked no one, and had a 37 percent CSW rate.

Another way to figure out how valuable a pitcher is if ERA, FIP, or WHIP don’t tell the whole story.

It’s not like Heaney was up against a group of lazy people. When he went to the game, he saw Carlos Correa, Byron Buxton, Jorge Polanco, Gio Urshela, Gary Sanchez, Max Kepler, Miguel Sano, and more.

His order was very important. He was able to find all three of his pitches, which makes a big difference when you don’t have a lot of powerful things (92 MPH is the average velocity on his fastball).

There’s still a long way to go for Heaney, but his first game of the season, which was on the road, gave him as much hope as possible given his recent lack of success and what many thoughts were a fairytale about the lefty being “figured out” in his age-31 season after eight years in the big leagues.
