◆ Pitcher snapshot

David Sandlin, a starter for the Chicago White Sox, has shown a mix of swing-and-miss ability and uneven run prevention so far. The R-hander carries a 6.05 ERA, 1.29 WHIP, and 9.31 strikeouts per nine across 19.1 innings, with a 2-1 record through 3 starts. That profile points to bat-missing upside, but also a line that still needs steadier execution from outing to outing.

The biggest question is whether he can consistently get ahead and limit free passes. His strikeout rate gives him a path to work through trouble, yet the walk rate at 4.66 can create extra traffic and force him into stressful counts. When his command is sharper, the raw stuff can play well enough to suppress damage, but lapses in location leave less margin for error and can quickly change the shape of a start.

David Sandlin has pitched with flashes of better rhythm lately, and that matters more than the full-season line alone. If he keeps repeating his delivery and works in the zone earlier, he has a chance to build on the better outings and turn this into a more stable run. If not, volatility remains part of the outlook, especially against patient lineups that can wait him out.

For fantasy and matchup purposes, he fits as a higher-variance option whose value depends on strikeouts and game flow. The win total sits at 2 against 1, but the more important indicator going forward is whether he can pair his bat-missing ability with cleaner command.
