Tanner Bibee, SP, Cleveland Guardians Bibee threw a CGSO tonight, posting 2 H, 0 BB, 10 K in a truly dominant night. This was obviously a really encouraging start for Bibee as his 20.3% K rate, 4.69 ERA, and 3.82 xERA are all career worsts.

According to Fangraphs, the Stuff+ across his whole arsenal is at a career low of 92. I'm not expect...2025

They’re in first place in the NL Central, though by just one game, and have had une...2025
