This may not bode well for A’s rookie right-handed starter Gunnar Hoglund, who has made just five starts in his MLB career with a 5.13 ERA, allowing 28 hits and 15 runs through 26 1/3 innings. He also owns a .304 xBA against, per Baseball Savant, which ranks him in just the 13th percentile in all of baseball.

After a rather encouraging start to Gunnar Hoglund's MLB career (2GS; 11.1 IP, 3 ER, 10 K, 1 BB), things quickly spun off the rails for the A's 25-year-old righty. Sacramento's highly touted rookie SP prospect surrendered 12 earned runs in three games since, with just 10 strikeouts to eight walks and five ding-dongs allowed.
