Notes
	After a brilliant 2024 season, Cole Ragans dealt with injuries in 2025, including a groin strain and a left rotator cuff strain. He started only 13 games, threw 61 2/3 innings, and finished with an ugly 4.67 ERA. However, his xERA was 2.68, FIP was 2.50, and xFIP was 2.45, so a lot of his struggles resulted from terrible luck (.354 BABIP). His 38.1% strikeout rate is unsustainable, but his career swinging strike rate is 14.2%, meaning he should remain a valuable source of Ks. No one likes hearing "left rotator cuff strain" on a left-handed pitcher, but upon his return late last year, he pitched his best innings of the season. There is some risk involved in the 28-year-old, but he will be a high-reward pick if he stays healthy. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Carlos Rodon delivered one of the most complete seasons of his career in 2025, posting a 3.09 ERA across 195.1 innings with a 1.05 WHIP and 203 strikeouts, earning Cy Young consideration. Projections expect some ERA regression closer to his FIP (3.78 in 2025) and normalized BABIP. He is currently recovering from an elbow procedure and is projected to begin his season in late April/early May, but if all goes as planned, he comes at a good discount on draft day for the potential he brings.
