Not every single no-no was thrown by Hall of Famers (or Hall of Famers to be) such as Nolan Ryan, Sandy Koufax or Max Scherzer.<\/p>\n<p>Homer Bailey, owner of a 4.56 career ERA, threw two no-nos. Do you remember Chris Heston? Henderson Alvarez? Kent Mercker? Ramon J. Martinez? Greg Maddux? Oh, wait, he never threw one.<\/p>\n<p>No-hitters don\u2019t equal stardom \u2014 or even fantasy usefulness. They\u2019re just impressive feats.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, the Angels\u2019 Reid Detmers threw a no-hitter in the 11th start of his career.\u00a0He became the youngest pitcher to throw one since Anibal Sanchez in 2006, and the youngest Angel since Clyde Wright in 1970.<\/p>\n<p>One would think this type of performance from a 22-year-old former first-round pick (10th-overall in 2020) might make him a hot fantasy commodity. Well, it hasn\u2019t.\u00a0He was the 16th-most added pitcher in ESPN leagues \u2014 his ownership jumping from 4.2 percent to 9.4. He remains available in 84 percent of Yahoo leagues.\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"737\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/reid-detmers-angels.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Reid Detmers celebrates no-hitter.\" class=\"wp-image-22272650\"\/><figcaption>Reid Detmers celebrates after throwing a no-hitter.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Icon Sportswire via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The lack of movement is justified.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Detmers struck out two batters Tuesday, the lowest strikeout total in a no-hitter since Francisco Liriano also struck out two in 2011. That isn\u2019t a complete shock considering Detmers is striking out just 5.8 per nine innings this season (6.8 per nine over his 11 career starts).<\/p>\n<p>Detmers\u2019 strikeout totals are shocking, especially after he racked up 15.7 strikeouts per nine in his one season in the minors and 13.4 per nine over three seasons at the University of Louisville.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Detmers also sports an unsustainable .176 BaBIP, which would be the second-lowest among starters if he qualified. His .165 opponent average looks incredible, but his expected .255 batting average against doesn\u2019t look as good. Nor does his 3.80 xERA, or his 4.06 FIP, or his 4.34 xFIP.<\/p>\n<p>Those numbers look even worse when you consider that, of the 108 pitches Detmers threw on Tuesday, he generated just 10 swinging strikes (9.3 percent). He has a 7.9 percent\u00a0swinging-strike rate for the season and 9.5 percent in his career. He is showing little to no ability to miss bats, and it doesn\u2019t bode well that this was also just the second time in his brief career that he pitched more than five innings in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Can fantasy owners pick up Detmers in the hope his no-no will be the catalyst to allow him to live up to his draft status? Sure, and no one would mock you for making such a move. But Roto Rage believes there are other young pitchers worth adding instead.<\/p>\n<p>Oakland\u2019s Paul Blackburn was 4-0 with a 0.87 WHIP, .214 opponent average and 1.74 ERA\u00a0before taking the mound on Saturday. Though he is striking out just 7.5 per nine innings, he is walking 0.87 per nine, has a 10.9 percent swinging-strike rate and his xERA (2.87), FIP (2.16) and xFIP (2.55) indicate he should continue to be a viable\u00a0option. He is available in about 40 percent of ESPN leagues.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/paul-blackburn-as-e1652551095575.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Paul Blackburn throws a pitch.\" class=\"wp-image-22272671\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/paul-blackburn-as-e1652551095575.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/paul-blackburn-as-e1652551095575.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/05\/paul-blackburn-as-e1652551095575.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Paul Blacburn throws a pitch for the Oakland A\u2019s against the Detroit Tigers.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In his first 16 \u00b2\/\u2083 innings, mostly multi-inning relief outings, Atlanta\u2019s Spencer Strider (0-1, 2.16 ERA, 1.08 WHIP) has struck out 36.4 percent of the batters he has faced, with a 15.9 percent swinging-strike rate. Opponents are hitting .158 against him, including .174 against his high-90s fastball (with a 30.6 percent whiff rate) and .100 against his slider (with a 42.9 percent whiff rate). He is rostered in just 7.2 percent of ESPN leagues and has a real good shot of joining Atlanta\u2019s rotation.<\/p>\n<p>Seattle\u2019s George Kirby, who took the mound Saturday against the Mets, struck out seven over six scoreless innings in his big league debut last Sunday. Most impressive was his 17.3 percent swinging-strike rate and the fact he didn\u2019t walk a batter. He was the most added pitcher in ESPN leagues this week.<\/p>\n<p>Other options could include Minnesota\u2019s Josh Winder (second-most added pitcher in ESPN leagues this week), the Dodgers\u2019 Tony Gonsolin (despite his ugly 4.33 walks per nine), the Yankees\u2019 Jameson Taillon or Cleveland\u2019s Triston McKenzie (if he is available), who has kept his walks in check and is 2-1 with a 2.39 ERA, .204 opponent average and 29 strikeouts over his past five starts.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Big_Hits\"><\/span><strong>Big Hits<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><strong>Manuel Margot OF, Rays<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Entered Friday with a nine-game hit streak and at least one RBI in seven of those games.
