Angel Nesbitt

Over the course of the season, Nesbitt moved between Triple-A Toledo and Double-A Erie and failed to find his groove at either. Much like 2015, Nesbitt simply wasn’t able to deliver at Toledo, as he recorded an ERA above 5.00 (5.68) for the second straight year. While his ERA was certainly problematic, the ease at which batters were able to hit Nesbitt may have been even more so. Opponents notched a .356 batting average with Nesbitt on the mound at Triple-A Toledo, where he pitched 11 games (31.2 innings). As a result, he ended the year with a 1.96 WHIP at the Triple-A level. It’s been seen that Nesbitt has a solid enough pitch repertoire to be a respectable reliever, as he compliments a mid-90’s fastball with a cutter that can touch 90, as well as a changeup and slider. Unfortunately, the fact remains that he’s coming off yet another treacherous campaign and carries little fantasy value until he can string together an extended stretch of decent performances.
