allowed three runs on six hits and struck out seven without issuing a walk over five innings in a no-decision versus the Cubs on Wednesday.
Fedde left the game in line for the win until the Cubs rallied ahead in the seventh inning. He had quality starts in four of his six outings in May, but he’s given up seven runs over his last 10 innings across two starts. Fedde is at a
3.27 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 73:22 K:BB through 74.1 innings over 13 starts this season. The right-hander is projected to make his next start at Seattle.
The Chicago White Sox have been a disaster this season, but one of the lone bright spots has been starting pitcher Erick Fedde. After resurrecting his career in Korea, he signed a two-year deal with Chicago this offseason—but he
won’t finish the season there.
Through eight starts in 2024, Fedde has a 3.00 ERA and only surrendered 38 hits and 14 walks in 45 innings. His 23.4% strikeout rate and 7.4% walk rate are both the best marks of his seven-year MLB career. In his most
recentstart on Thursday, he threw six shutout innings against the Cleveland Guardians, striking out six with six hits and no walks allowed.
The White Sox have won four of the eight games he has started this year, which is noteworthy because their overall record of 12-28 is the worst in the American League. The team began the year 3-22, and aside from Fedde’s 1.7 WAR (Baseball-Reference version), no one else on the roster has more than 0.9.
