Notes
	Michael King's transition to a full-time starter in San Diego paid off in 2024, but 2025 brought some mild regression and missed time. After logging 173 2/3 innings with a 2.95 ERA and 27.7% strikeout rate in 2024, he threw just 73.1 innings in 2025 with his strikeout rate dipping to 24.7% and his HR/9 jumping from 0.9 to 1.5. Projections expect a rebound in workload and a return to mid-3.00s ratios, which aligns more closely with his 2024 form than last year's abbreviated campaign. King still misses bats at an above-average clip and limits batting average against (.225 career), but his margin for error narrows when the home run rate spikes. He profiles as a high-end SP3 with SP2 upside if the strikeouts tick back toward the 27-28% range and he pushes past 160 innings again. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Luis Castillo remains a reliable innings-eater, but his 2025 profile showed continued erosion in strikeout rate (21.7% K%) and rising hard contact (46.5% HardHit), limiting his fantasy ceiling. Projections reflect more of the same: solid ratios and workload, but middling strikeout totals compared to the top fantasy arms. Castillo is still a dependable rotation anchor in deeper formats, though fantasy managers should no longer pay for peak-era upside. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
		His age is increasing and his strikeout rate is plummeting - a disastrous combination for a pitcher. There are more talented, lively, and exciting arms being drafted behind him with more upside that I strongly prefer. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
