Arrighetti’s Rise as Astros Ace

Spencer Arrighetti is quietly rewriting baseball history—and saving the Houston Astros’ season. Almost traded last year, sent to Triple-A to start 2024, he’s now one of the best arms in the game, posting a ridiculous 7-1 record with a 1.34 ERA. He’s the only pitcher since 1913 to hit June with seven wins, under a 1.50 ERA, and fewer than 30 hits allowed. With a low-90s fastball and a nasty curve, he’s kept hitters off-balance and anchored a shaky rotation. His breakout performances—including breaking a 13-year losing streak at Wrigley—have lifted the Astros’ playoff hopes. Up next: a showdown with Pirates ace Paul Skenes. The question now? Is Arrighetti a Cy Young contender? At just 26, he’s just getting started. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
