Welcome to Issue 5 of this MLB Upgrade/Downgrade Report, performed by yours truly. Each problem, I will define a certain area of players I will be evaluating, and MLB The Show 21 Stubs make a general outlook regarding them getting a potential upgrade/downgrade at MLB The Show 17 based from their functionality.
The score scale we will use will go from 1 to 10, with 1 being a very likely downgrade, and 10 being a very likely upgrade.If you have any of your own predictions or anything to question me on, please comment below!All feedback is very appreciated, and I'd really like to have some discussions in the remark threads!There are two different evaluations: one for upgrade/downgrade likelihood, and yet another for pricing (if it's worth it or not, with 1 being tremendously overpriced and 10 being a complete steal).
ADDITIONAL NOTE: The title of this piece has been changed from the Investment Report into the Upgrade/Downgrade report, as I feel as though the piece does pay the investing side of the current market, but includes a larger focus on player movement. Also, as this piece was more detailed regarding player comparisons, the number of pitchers detailed was marginally decreased.
Corey Knebel has been directing this season for the Brew Crew, putting a 1.68 ERA and a WHIP of 1.18. His FIP is sitting in 2.30, which indicates that his success should be quite sustainable. In 7 innings since the All-Star break, he's put up an ERA of 1.29 with 5 hits enabled, 3 walks enabled, and 11 strikeouts.
Knebel has many areas which deserve upgrade. The main one is in H/9, as his H/9 of 5.2 is just.2 greater than Dellin Betances' H/9 of 5.0. However, Betances includes a H/9 evaluation of 99, while Knebel comes with an 84. Knebel's HR/9 is only.1 over Jonathan Broxton's 2009 stat (0.6 vs. 0.5), yet Broxton has a HR/9 rating of 81 while Knebel has a HR/9 evaluation of 66. He is very deserving of MLB the show stubs 21 both of these updates, and has golden potential written all over him.
