Zack Littell is struggling to regain our trust as a deep streamer, despite his recent streak of allowing no more than two earned runs in each of his last six outings. In the Arizona desert, the righty extended this streak, turning in 5.0 IP, 1 ER, 2 Hits, 1 BBs, 4 Ks with 10 Whiffs, 36% CSW, and 64 pitches (W). However, his early-season struggles and lack of support for his recent success make it 'too little too late'. Littell's splitter has been inconsistent, and his slider-turned-cutter is failing to find the zone, leading to a heavy reliance on his four-seamers, which has reduced his strikeout rate and increased his walk rate. This unsustainable approach, driven by luck on balls in play, makes him a risky streamer in standard leagues.
