Notes
	George Kirby's 2025 surface stats regressed (4.21 ERA, 1.19 WHIP) as his pristine control wavered, highlighted by a career-high 5.5% walk rate and elevated hard-hit contact. The encouraging sign was a spike in strikeouts (26.1% K rate, 9.8 K/9), which kept his underlying indicators intact. His FIP was notably lower than his ERA, and his four-year track record of elite command and durability suggests the 2025 dip was more noise than skill erosion. Based on the 2026 projections and his underlying profile, Kirby profiles as a rebound SP2 whose draft cost should reflect last year's disappointment rather than his true talent. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	His strikeouts spiked last season, but his typically command "suffered" (to the tune of a low 2.07 BB/9). If the striekout surge continues this season, the sky is the limit for this ace. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
