However, that was not the <a href="https://twitter.com/OptaSTATS/status/1694214179232555256" rel="noopener">most notable feat</a> Ashcraft completed in that contest, per ESPN Stats &amp; Info.</p><p><i>The@Reds’ Graham Ashcraft:</i></p><p><i>Last 10 starts: 2.35 ERA</i><br><i>Prev. 10: 10.00 ERA</i></p><p><i>Since ERA became official in 1913, no other MLB pitcher has had a 10.00+ ERA over a 10-start span in a season &amp; then had a sub-2.50 ERA over any 10-start span later that same year (let alone back-to-back).</i></p><p>Against the Angels, Ashcraft surrendered three earned runs on five hits and fanned 10 Los Angeles hitters across seven innings of mound duty. With that performance, Ashcraft also managed to lower his ERA in the 2023 MLB regular season to just 4.84.</p><p>While that high ERA is indicative of poor performance, it doesn’t tell the story of the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/reds-news-graham-ashcraft-100-mph-opening-day-cincinnati-fans" rel="noopener">incredible turnaround</a> Ashcraft is having. After a June loss to the Atlanta Braves at home, Ashcraft saw his season ERA balloon to 7.17. Ashcraft, however, has done a fantastic job of gradually improving his ERA. Ashcraft also had an ERA of 1.84 through five starts in July.</p><p>There’s still plenty of room for improvement for the 25-year-old right-hander from Alabama, particularly when it comes to suppressing home runs. He has now allowed three home runs this August, including three in the Angels game. He has a higher home rate this season than the one he had in 2022, though, he is sporting a lower BABIP.</p><p> </p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

As he gets ready for Reds Opening Day, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-reds-players-who-need-bounce-back-seasons" rel="noopener">Ashcraft has turned</a> his game up to another level.</p><p>Ashcraft was <a href="https://twitter.com/CharlieG__/status/1635060466769887233" rel="noopener">forced to leave</a> a recent Reds Spring Training game. However, it was revealed he was just cramping up and that he should be good to go in the coming days. Before he went down, Ashcraft pitched 2.1 innings of one run baseball. The right-hander felt more natural on the mound and that his stuff was starting to get back up to speed, via Charlie Goldsmith of the Cincinnati Enquirer.</p><p>“Things are starting to click,” Ashcraft said. “It’s nice to see (100 MPH) back. I’m right where I needed to be.</p><p>Ashcraft ended up taking the loss as the Dodgers defeated the Reds 8-1. However, he struck out six batters in his 2.1 innings of work. He allowed just four hits and walked one. It was a stark improvement for Ashcraft. Assuming his cramps surpass, Ashcraft is expected to open the season in the middle of the Reds’ rotation.</p><p>Graham Ashcraft made his MLB debut for the Reds this past season, starting 19 games for Cincinnati. He racked up a 5-6 record with a 4.89 ERA and a 71/30 K/BB ratio.</p><p>Before making the bigs, Ashcraft was a top prospect for Cincinnati. He ranked in the team’s <a href="https://www.mlb.com/prospects/2021/reds/graham-ashcraft-668933" rel="noopener">top 20</a> prospects in 2021, via MLB Pipeline. Over 44 games at the minor league level, Ashcraft pitched to a 16-11 record with a 3.33 ERA and a 230/76 K/BB ratio.</p><p>Ashcraft’s calling card is his power. It appears that he is reaching full strength at Spring Training. The Reds will hope Ashcraft will carry over his progress into the regular season.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
