Expert Note
View More NotesLuzardo's 2020 campaign wasn't terrible, but it certainly left fantasy managers wanting more. The strikeouts were there, but not quite at the level that was expected. He rarely went deep into games. And he was just more hittable than he ever was in the minors or in his brief time as a reliever in 2019. Luzardo throws four quality pitches and is working to improve his arsenal as we head into the 2021 season, so there's little reason to downgrade your opinion of him too much from where it was prior to the 2020 campaign because of one nine-start stretch. He's an incredibly high-upside pitcher who carries with him plenty of injury risk, and the combination leaves him as a solid SP3 for fantasy leagues.

Jesus Luzardo's velocity impresses A's manager Bob Melvin.
Fantasy Impact
After a lackluster 2020 season, A's manager Bob Melvin, A's fans, and Luzardo fantasy managers will be excited to learn that his first pitch on Tuesday was clocked at 98 MPH. Considering Luzardo's average four-seam fastball velocity was 95.5 MPH in 2020, Luzardo should see his stock rise if his velocity continues to increase.
