"Brendon Little has tossed seven scoreless innings with the Bisons, striking out 46.2% of the hitters he's faced along the way. He's yet to allow a single barrel, a huge improvement over the 13.3% rate at which he gave them up in his short MLB stint this season."
"Little is generating a ridiculous 37.3% whiff rate, which is perhaps to be expected for a pitcher with a strikeout rate about 25% in the big leagues. The fact that hitters have mustered a .082 expected batting average and .091 expected slugging percentage against him are total proof that he's simply too good for the level."
The Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen ranks 23rd in ERA but excels in FIP, strikeout rate, and fWAR. Brendon Little struggled initially, leading to a 24.55 ERA before being sent to Triple-A. In Buffalo, he has thrown seven scoreless innings with a 46.2% strikeout rate and no barrels allowed. His underlying numbers indicate he is performing at a high level, with a 37.3% whiff rate and low expected batting average against him. Little is working on his four-seam fastball, showing potential for a return to the Blue Jays soon.
