Irvin went on a brilliant run last season in which he posted a 2.18 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 71:17 K:BB over 78.1 innings spanning 13 starts from April 29 to June 4. All good things must come to an end, and sure enough, he pitched to a 6.50 ERA from there. Still, Irvin took the ball 33 times, totaled 187.2 innings and won 10 games for a 71-win Nationals team. While he is not a very hard thrower, good extension helps his stuff play up a bit, and he can drop in a pretty good curveball. The strikeout are modest and his rough stretch to end the season may drive people off him, but the innings and secure spot in the rotation provide reason alone to consider the right-hander in many formats. On top of that, Irvin has hinted at some performance upside. Read Past Outlooks
