2021 Projections
2021 Fantasy Outlook
DeSclafani's free agent walk year began so well, as he threw 11 shutout innings against the Tigers and Brewers. Alas, in his third start, against the Pirates no less, he gave up nine runs over two innings, allowing three homers as part of the carnage. Afterwards it was suggested that he was tipping his pitches in the start, but he never really got on track after that. Despite not losing any velocity on his fastball, DeSclafani's K%, BB%, HR/9, and virtually every other metric declined last season. He didn't make it through five innings in any outing following that disastrous start, and ended up with horrific ratios and without a spot on the Reds' playoff roster. The Giants added him early in the offseason as one of their reclamation projects; if all goes well, they will likely flip him at the trade deadline. Read Past Outlooks

Reaches deal with Giants
DeSclafani signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Ken Rosenthal of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
DeSclafani should land a spot in the Giants' rotation in 2021 after spending the past five seasons in Cincinnati. The right-hander struggled last season, posting a 7.22 ERA and 1.69 WHIP over 33.2 innings, and he wasn't included on the Reds' roster for the NL Wild Card Series. DeSclafani has been effective as a starter in past seasons, and he'll attempt to return to form in San Francisco.

DeSclafani added 50-plus innings to his 2018 total and shaved a full run off his ERA, providing stability at the back end of the Reds' rotation. His strikeout and walk rates were very close to his 2018 marks at 24% and 7%, respectively, but DeSclafani trimmed his home-run rate which was no small feat in 2019. The long ball had been a major problem in 2018 (1.88 HR/9). Part of his improvement can be chalked up to an increase in velocity, as DeSclafani added a tick to his fastball and close to three ticks to his breaking pitches. New pitching coach Derek Johnson is probably to thank for that, as he did wonders for the entire staff. If this is the new baseline, DeSclafani will be a quality fourth or fifth starter for years to come as he enters his 30s, though the injury concerns still loom. Disco missed all of 2017 with an elbow issue and significant time in 2018 with an oblique strain.
