As we gear up for the 2025 season, the spotlight is on Cole Ragans and his potential to become a top-tier starter. After a promising 2024, where he showcased a powerful fastball and a devastating changeup, the question arises: can he refine his slider and cutter to elevate his game even further?
Ragans has already hinted at a desire to improve his strike rate, which could lead to a significant drop in his walk rate. If he can harness his pitches effectively, could we be looking at a future ace? Or is there a risk that his previous mechanical issues could resurface, hindering his progress?
Let’s not forget the injury concerns that come with a heavy workload. With 186.1 innings under his belt last season, how do you feel about his durability moving forward? Is he a safe bet for your fantasy roster, or do you think the risk outweighs the reward?
And what about Seth Lugo? With the Royals' rotation shaping up, could he be a sleeper pick that surprises us all?
I want to hear your thoughts! Are you buying into Ragans as a potential top 3 starter, or do you have reservations? What strategies are you considering for your fantasy drafts this year? Let’s dive into the discussion!
