Up - The Padres paid a premium in teenage talent (2020 second-rounder Owen Caissie, Reginald Preciado, Ismael Mena and Yeison Santana), as well as big-leaguer Zach Davies, to land Darvish before the 2021 season and watched him pitch himself into an All-Star invite.Darvish’s timer equivalent according to Statcast in 2022 was 15.0 seconds with the bases empty (fourth slowest) and 19.1 seconds with runners on base (17 th slowest). In 2023, pitchers will have 15 seconds to deliver a pitch after receiving the ball from the catcher with the bases empty and 20 seconds with at least one runner on base, with an automatic ball call issued if time expires. This metric isn’t equivalent to what the incoming pitch clock will measure (return throw from the catcher to start of delivery) but is indicative of a pace that Darvish, a notoriously slow worker, will have to improve upon this year. 21.0 - The number of seconds between pitches with the bases empty, release to release, in 2022, fourth-most among pitchers who threw at least 1,000 pitches last year according to Statcast.216 opponent average, 194 2/3 innings (30 starts) Contract status: Will earn $24 million in 2023 as part of a six-year, $108-million deal that will run through the 2028 season.How acquired: Trade with the Chicago Cubs in December 2020.Position(s): Right-handed starting pitcher. ![]()
