Barraclough has walked 22 and struck out 27 with an ERA of 4.07 through 24.1 innings this season.
Since arriving in the big leagues in 2015, Barraclough has always struggled with his control, but this season it has gone from bad to worse. He's walking 8.1 batters per nine innings, and the 22 walks he's given up is more than the number of hits off of him, 19. Combined, the two make for an inflated WHIP of 1.68. The high ERA and WHIP make him a risky option for fantasy owners, and the hard-throwing reliever will have to find a way to throw the ball over the plate more often for that to change anytime soon.
