Kuhnel, known for his ground-ball rate, has a 3.00 ERA in 21 Triple-A innings this season. Despite a low strikeout percentage, he boasts good walk and ground-ball rates.
In his MLB career, Kuhnel has a 6.30 ERA with a decent strikeout rate. He throws a combination of fastballs, a slider, and a changeup, averaging close to 96 mph on his main pitches.
