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	Jacob Misiorowski's 2025 debut showcased frontline bat-missing ability, as he posted a 31.9% strikeout rate and 11.9 K/9 across 66 innings, while holding hitters to a .213 average and .671 OPS. Looking ahead to 2026, projections point to a workload jump and continued strikeout upside, but fantasy managers should expect ratio swings tied to command consistency. He profiles as a high-ceiling SP3/SP4 in standard leagues who can anchor strikeouts but may require roster insulation in WHIP. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
