2022 Fantasy Outlook
Musgrove was another pitcher to find a new level of success upon leaving Pittsburgh, as he posted a career-best 3.18 ERA across 181.1 innings in 2021. He saw a slight increase in velocity across the board while also featuring a cutter in his pitch arsenal for the first time. That resulted in limiting right-handed hitters to just a .252 wOBA and 0.80 HR/9, well better than his career marks of .289 and 1.1, respectively. Musgrove was particularly hot out of the gate -- he threw the first no-hitter in Padres history in his second start of the season -- and maintained a 2.22 ERA with a 0.84 WHIP with a 103:19 K:BB across his first 15 outings. He couldn't carry that success into the second half, as he closed the campaign by posting a 4.02 ERA and 1.30 WHIP with a 100:35 K:BB across his final 17 appearances. That makes it difficult to project additional growth in 2022, though he'll be locked into the rotation and it's reasonable to expect an ERA in the mid 3s and WHIP in the low 1.20s across 170 innings in 2022.

Another no-decision
Musgrove gave up three runs (two earned) on four hits and three walks over six innings during Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta in 11 innings. He had six strikeouts and didn't factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Atlanta tallied one run via a throwing error during the second inning, and the only runs Musgrove was responsible for in the contest came via a two-run home run from Dansby Swanson during the fourth frame. The right-hander otherwise held Atlanta to four singles, and he has yet to surrender more than two earned runs in any of his seven starts this season. Musgrove will carry a 2.20 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 47:6 K:BB into his next outing, which tentatively lines up for next weekend in San Francisco.

Musgrove's 3.82 FIP in 2019 indicated that he deserved better than his 4.44 ERA. As it turns out, that number was a near-perfect estimation of his ERA in 2020, which came in at 3.86 in eight starts, a number cut short by a spell on the injured list due to triceps inflammation. For the fourth consecutive year, Musgrove's FIP beat his ERA, coming in at a career-low 3.42. His underlying numbers looked like they belonged to an entirely different pitcher than who he was in his first four seasons. His K% sat in a very narrow band between 20.6% and 21.9% in those years before shooting up to 33.1% in 2020. That did come with some control problems, as he posted a 9.6 BB%, well above his previous career high of 6.3%, though he also produced a career-high 48.4% groundball rate. The good here definitely outweighs the bad, and while the sample was quite small, Musgrove looks more interesting than ever heading into 2021.
