Pearson's numbers in the majors this season were very bad as he finished with a 9.20 ERA on the season in only 14.1 innings pitched while striking out only 7 hitters.
The strange part is that when looking at his numbers in the minors, Pearson actually put up solid numbers as he had a 2.22 ERA but that did not translate to the majors.

Although a 2.22 ERA in AAA, Pearson did not have the same success in 11 appearances with the Show Cubbies - notably giving up 15 runs.

Pearson will likely be able to land himself a minor league contract in the off-season.
