<p>Chris Bassit of late isn&#8217;t the Chris Bassitt we&#8217;ve come to know.<br />
</p>
<div class="bam-inline-promotion-block"></div>
<p>In fact, since July rolled around, he doesn&#8217;t seem anything like himself. In nine starts, he&#8217;s gone 2-6 throwing 47 and two-third innings, posting a 6.80 ERA, allowing a .284 batting average and .838 OPS to opposing hitters. While he&#8217;s maintained a good walk rate of 8.8 percent, with a 22.8 strikeout percentage, he&#8217;s also fallen apart at the seams at times. He&#8217;s allowed four or more earned runs against in five of those starts, and he continues to give up damage in a big way.</p>
<p>It pales in comparison with the first three months of his season. From March through June, he went 7-6 in 17 starts, throwing 97 and one-third innings. His ERA was just 3.24, allowing a .259 batting average and .690 OPS. His walk rate and strikeout rate remained virtually the same as it has been in the last two months, but what&#8217;s noticable is he gave up eight home runs over that stretch, the same as he has in July and August.</p>
<p>The good news for Bassitt is he takes the mound Wednesday evening at Fenway Park, a venue he&#8217;s had plenty of success in over his career. Across three starts and 21 innings, he&#8217;s posted a 2.14 ERA, the fourth-best number at any ballpark in baseball, with Alejandro Kirk catching for him.</p>
<p>Could this be where Chris Bassitt starts to find his game again?</p>
