| 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 | Patrick is not getting the love he deserves. In 2025, across 23 starts and 119.2 innings pitched, Patrick boasted a 9.55 K9, and a 3.53 ERA (as well as a matching 3.53 FIP). And he is not even being drafted in most leagues, going past pick 300! He is one of my favorite undrafted players in 2026, and if he comes close to matching his 2025 stats, he will provide you SP3/4 numbers for a mere lottery pick in the last round. That is league winning value if you ask me. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal | |
