The Mets signing Jerad Eickhoff feels like forever ago. It was the start of the off-season and the Mets were desperate to fill out back up options for the rotation, at that point there were so many questions for the rotation both in Queens and Syracuse. So the Mets got Eickhoff.
The long time Philly was actually with multiple teams last year. He signed as a free agent in December 2019 with the Padres. He was granted free agency in August in 2020 and a few days later and signed with the Rangers, the team that drafted him in 2011. (He was also drafted in 2010 with the Cubs but didn’t sign). Eickhoff made it to the Phillies in a 2015 deadline day trade with the Rangers for Cole Hamels (there are a lot of players involved in this trade). Jerad makes a splash immediately and posts a 2.65 ERA. 146 ETA+, 3.25 FIP and a 1.039 WHIP in 8 starts and 51.0 innings in 2015. Statistically, things get progressively worse for Eickhoff in his career. Ended in 2019, his last major league season, where he pitched in 12 games, made 10 starts, with a 5.71 ERA, 6.51 FIP, 1.303 WHIP and a 78 ERA+. His ERA+ was over 100 only in 2015 and 2016.
