A year after making 73 appearances for the Cardinals -- a career high and almost 20 more than he made in 2016 -- Cecil battled injuries and his performance fell off a cliff. He landed on the DL with a shoulder strain during the first week of the season and also battled left foot tendinitis while on the shelf. Cecil returned in mid-May but missed another stretch of time during the summer with right foot inflammation. The lefty's walk rate nearly tripled (to 15.9%) and his K-rate was cut almost in half as hitters simply did not chase his pitches out of the strike zone like they had in the past (26.7 O-Swing%, down from 37% in 2017). It was a bad year, but Cecil has a lengthy track record of success against left-handed bats (.240/.299/.373) and should get every chance to show that 2018 was an anomaly.
