Joey Lucchesi

Lucchesi's a fine pitcher, but he really only has two pitches - a fine fastball and an above-average changeup. Although he dabbles with a cutter, it's much more of a show-me pitch, and batters hit .291 last year against it anyway with an xBA of 3.10. It's unlikely he'll make many significant gains, but there's room on your roster for a low-4.00 ERA pitcher with nearly a strikeout per inning. Just make sure it's toward the back end of your rotation.

Joey Lucchesi strikes out six in final start of 2019

Joey Lucchesi fell to 10-10 on Thursday versus the Dodgers, spinning six innings of one-run ball while striking out six.

Fantasy Impact

Lucchesi allowed three hits and two walks as the Padres went on to lose 1-0. The lefty finishes the 2019 campaign with a 10-10 record, a 4.18 ERA, a 1.22 WHIP, and 158 strikeouts in 163 2/3 innings. The 26-year-old will be an interesting late-round starter come 2020 fantasy drafts.
