As we dive deeper into the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the conversation around starting pitchers is heating up. With the latest rankings out, it’s time to dissect the landscape and make some bold predictions.
First off, let’s talk about Paul Skenes. He’s sitting at the top of the rankings, but can he maintain that elite status throughout the season? Many are already comparing him to past rookie sensations, but history shows us that not all top prospects live up to the hype. What are your thoughts? Is Skenes a lock for the Cy Young, or do you see potential pitfalls?
Then there’s Tanner Bibee, who seems to be flying under the radar despite impressive K/9 numbers. Could he be the hidden gem that propels your fantasy team to victory? Or is he just another flash in the pan?
And what about George Kirby? He’s ranked high, but can he elevate his strikeout rate to truly join the elite ranks? If he does, where does that put him in the conversation for top-tier pitchers?
Let’s not forget about the potential breakout candidates like Jared Jones and Bowden Francis. Are they worth the risk in your drafts? What’s your strategy when it comes to targeting young arms with upside versus established veterans?
Lastly, with the ever-changing dynamics of the MLB, how do you approach your starting pitcher rankings? Do you rely on stats, or do you factor in the intangibles like team defense and ballpark effects?
Share your insights, predictions, and any sleeper picks you have in mind. Let’s get the discussion rolling!
