It’s not a big one, mind you, but it’s a classic Alex Anthopoulos “let’s see if we can optimize his usage” deal. Cash considerations is defined as an amount of money not to exceed $100,000, making this a relative low-cost opportunity for Atlanta. And there’s some similarities to previous deals Anthopoulos has made in the past.

One of the big keys for a pitcher is just to be unusual - have a pitch move more than most do, do it from a weird arm slot or at a significantly different velocity than most. The goal is for a hitter to not be comfortable, and Herget makes guys uncomfortable. When Herget’s curveball has been at its best, it allowed only a .120 batting average against with a .241 slugging.

And so, with the deal, Herget joins the team that actually first drafted him - the Braves took him in the 40th round of the 2012 MLB Draft out of high school, but he went to the University of South Florida instead and was re-drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in the 6th round of the 2015 MLB Draft.
