Toronto Blue Jays starter Kevin Gausman looking to remain strong throughout entire season
Starter Kevin Gausman was as advertised in his first season with the Toronto Blue Jays after signing a lucrative long-term contract with the team.
Gausman, who signed a US$110-million, five-year deal in late 2021, was 12-10 last season with a 3.35 earned-run average over 31 starts. He was fifth in the AL with 205 strikeouts and issued just 28 walks over 174⅔ innings. “You can’t really put your finger on it,” said Blue Jays manager John Schneider. “Guys go up and down and they have off-nights and things like that. But in our eyes, he was pretty consistent all year.”
“With that split[-finger pitch], he’s got that dialed in from the get-go‚” Schneider said. “He gets a lot of swing and miss on it. His first three outings last year were amazing and I don’t think he walked anyone until 40-something innings in last year. Stripling was lost to free agency but the Blue Jays signed right-hander Chris Bassitt to a three-year deal last December. If Berrios can bounce back after an off-year, Toronto could have a really deep front four.
