As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the conversation around starting pitchers is heating up, and I want to hear your thoughts on some intriguing names that could shape your draft strategy.
First up, Spencer Arrighetti from the Astros. With a flat four-seamer and a diverse arsenal of secondary pitches, he’s poised for a breakout year. After a strong finish to 2024, could he be the hidden gem that propels your team to victory? What are your expectations for his strikeout potential, and how do you see him fitting into your rotation?
Then there's Justin Steele of the Cubs. His impressive stretch last season showed he can be a reliable workhorse, but with injury concerns lingering, is he worth the risk as an SP2? How do you weigh the potential upside against the injury history when drafting pitchers like Steele?
Robbie Ray is another name that’s generating buzz. Known for his strikeout ability but also his volatility, can he find consistency in San Francisco? Do you think he can hit the 200-strikeout mark this season, or will his past control issues hold him back?
Sandy Alcantara is a polarizing figure after a disappointing 2023. With questions surrounding his recovery from Tommy John surgery and the Marlins' defense, is he still a top-tier option, or should we be cautious? What’s your take on his potential bounce-back?
Lastly, Joe Ryan has shown flashes of brilliance but still seems to be searching for that definitive secondary pitch. Can he elevate his game to become a reliable fantasy starter, or is he destined to remain a risky pick?
Let’s dive into these discussions! Who are you targeting in your drafts, and what bold predictions do you have for these pitchers? Share your insights and let’s strategize together!
