McHugh's strikeout rate? Cratered, falling by ten percentage points. His walk rate? Jumped from around five percent to around eight percent. His pitching triple-slash (ERA-/FIP-/xFIP-) was 63/69/82 in 2022, and it ballooned to 97/95/105. Across 58 2â 3 innings, he was worth just 0.3 fWAR; his least productive season since he was just getting his ears wet in the majors in 2012-2013.
He also had an Injured List stint with the same ailment in the middle of 2022, and that was a highly successful year, so we probably can't glean anything from that. But, whatever the reason, his 2023 season was a bummer.
