Over that time span Richards has a 8.8 K/9, 3.2 BB/9, 0.4 HR/9 and a 2.31 ERA.

His career 52.8% ground ball rate and 26.1% hard contact rate should help Richards become one of the most undervalued assets in 2018 barring injuries. Andrew Triggs , SP, Oakland Athletics Projected ADP: Undrafted Triggs’ ability to produce ground balls has gone under the radar the past two seasons. He owns a lifetime 50.3% ground ball rate in the majors, and that is complimented by a 26.8% hard contact rate. This should help him limit home runs, which in turn will help keep his ERA. He also has some strikeout potential. No he won’t average a strikeout every innings, but a 8.00 K/9 is not too crazy to predict. He did own a minuscule 6.89 K/9 last season, but his 10.4% swinging strike rat ...
