Unsworth

The right-hander matched a season-high with six strikeouts. Unsworth took his lumps in his first taste of Double-A last year (4-7, 4.34 ERA in 13 starts) but he’s really found his groove in 2016. He’s undefeated with a 1.08 ERA, good for fourth-lowest in the Southern League. Unsworth hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in any of his seven starts this year.

Unsworth had a great 2013 in the Midwest League, putting up a 2.32 ERA and a .909 WHIP while striking out 6.3 batters per nine innings. He has struggled in the hitter-friendly California League, as opposing hitters have put up a .316/.351/.531 line, leading to an ugly 6.46 ERA and a 1.493 WHIP. However, his home/away splits tell a different story, as he opposing batters have hit .383/.397/.624 at home and .245/.303/.432 on the road. High Desert is one of the best hitting environments in professional baseball. Unsworth is a command specialist who has the potential to be a solid mid-rotation starter.
