A Proven Workhorse in San Diego’s Rotation
Ali Hinga’s 2025 season at San Diego showed starter-level reliability: a 5-3 record, 4.22 ERA, and 77 strikeouts in 70.1 innings across 15 starts, which suggests he can handle real workload and miss bats[1]. His appeal is less about flash than dependability—he already proved he can hold up over a full season, attack hitters, and give a team innings without collapsing under pressure[1]. If you want a pitcher who brings consistency, competitive toughness, and rotation stability, he looks like a sensible fit.
