Notes
	Chase Burns flashed frontline bat-missing ability in his 2025 debut. Looking ahead to 2026, the projections lean into the strikeout upside while forecasting some ERA regression toward his underlying metrics as he secures a steadier rotation role. If the workload climbs into a full-season starter's range, Burns profiles as a high-K SP with ratios that may fluctuate week to week. In fantasy, he's best deployed as an SP3/SP4 in mixed leagues, with legitimate breakout potential if the command tightens and the batted-ball profile stabilizes. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
