Rondon registered his lowest number of strikeouts (48) since his debut season. His slider, a go to secondary offering, has fantastic vertical break and is particularly effective against righties, however an ugly 1.48 HR/9 and a 3.1 point drop in K/9 (from 10.2 to 7.1) doesn’t bode well for the future.
