His pitching line is bumpier. He struck out 63 in 2018, 156 in 2021, a career-best 219 in 2022 and 167 in 2023. The zeroes in 2019 and 2024 mean he did not pitch, because of Tommy John recovery and a post-surgery year; he returned to the mound in 2025. His 2026 was cut short by injuries: 30 home runs in 135 games and 95 strikeouts. These are per-season totals for the regular season only.
