Bailey Falter News
A day after getting six no-hit innings from Paul Skenes, the Pittsburgh Pirates got another solid outing from their rotation as Bailey Falter tossed 7 2/3 innings of shutout baseball in Saturday's 1-0 loss at the Chicago Cubs. He allowed three hits and two walks while striking out two over 7 2/3 scoreless frames. The 27-year-old did not factor into the decision. Falter allowed just three hits in the longest outing of his career, matching zeroes with Cubs ace Shota Imanaga. "It was awesome," Falter said about matching up with Imanaga. Despite the no-decision, Falter, 2-2 on the season, lowered his ERA to 3.53, while his 0.98 WHIP makes him an intriguing option for fantasy managers who need help in that category. In his next start, the southpaw draws a tough matchup against the Braves and can be used as a deep-league streamer.
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Derek Shelton said that left-hander Bailey Falter will start on Sunday at home against the visiting division-rival Chicago Cubs. Shelton added that the team will decide on what they will do with their starting rotation moving forward after the weekend series against Chicago. Now that top prospect Paul Skenes has entered the rotation and is set to make his major-league debut on Saturday, Falter may need to pitch well in the series finale in order to convince the coaching staff to keep him around. The 27-year-old southpaw has so far gone 2-2 with a 4.34 ERA (4.93 FIP) and 1.02 WHIP with nine walks and 26 strikeouts in 37 1/3 innings over seven starts in 2024. It will likely be either Falter or Quinn Priester who get bumped from the rotation now that Skenes is here.
Philadelphia Phillies pitcher Bailey Falter will make his third start of the season Thursday night when he takes on the Reds in Cincinnati. The 25-year-old has enjoyed a strong start to the season, allowing just three earned runs in 10 1/3 innings of work while he's yet to walk a batter. He has just five strikeouts in that time along with a 97.6% strand rate that has led him to a 4.95 FIP. Nonetheless, Falter was solid for the Phillies last season as he turned in a 3.86 ERA across 20 appearances (16 starts) while maintaining elite control via a 4.9% BB%. Falter didn't put up big strikeout numbers throughout his minor-league career but sports pinpoint control that's helped him avoid hard contact early in his big-league career.
