White Sox pitcher Jose Quintana is off to a strong start after a promising rookie season. Through three starts, Quintana has a 2.55 ERA and a 2.75 FIP. He's also managed to strikeout out nearly a batter per inning, with 17 in 17 2/3 innings.
Quintana has relied more on his four-seam fastball this season, particularly in two-strike counts. Against lefties, he's used the pitch 61 percent of the time in those situations. It's 63 percent against right-handers. Though his strikeout rate with the pitch has increased, it's not at an elite level.
White Sox pitching coach Don Cooper has had success turning around a number of pitchers in recent seasons, making Quintana's early success a little more intriguing for Fantasy owners.
