Ullola will presumably be in the mix for a spot in Houston’s season-opening rotation after posting a solid 3.88 ERA and 131/78 K/BB ratio across 113 2/3 innings over 28 appearances (23 starts) this past season.

He also walked five and threw 55 of his 92 pitches for strikes, which makes this a bit of the quintessential Ullola start. The 23-year-old did a lot of damage with his 92.3 mph fastball, recording 11 whiffs on 24 swings, but his changeup also registered six whiffs on seven swings. Overall, Ullola showcased a five-pitch mix and posted a 54 percent whiff rate and 39 percent CSW. He now has a 3.50 ERA, 1.44 WHIP, and 89/50 K/BB ratio in 69 1/3 innings. It might be time for the Astros to see if the 23-year-old can give them more than they’re getting from Colton Gordon or Lance McCullers Jr.

Ullola allowed just one hit while walking three and striking out seven. Ullola has impressive stuff, but command has been an issue for him in the past. He’s shown some minor growth recently, walking 16 batters over his last six outings, but striking out 41 over that span and allowing just three runs in 28 innings. With the Astros’ rotation getting crushed by injuries, there’s a chance that Ullola could get a shot this summer.
