Notes
	Tarik Skubal dominated in 2025, posting ace-level ratios while maintaining elite strikeout and walk rates across a full workload (195 IP). His 2026 projections remain optimistic, forecasting another sub-3 ERA with a strong WHIP and strikeout volume. The sustainability is supported by stable velocity, plus command, and one of the league's best swinging-strike profiles. Skubal enters 2026 as a true fantasy ace and a reliable anchor for managers prioritizing pitching early. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
	Do you prefer Randy Johnson or Greg Maddux? Roger Clemens or Pedro Martinez? The Skubal vs. Skenes debate will hopefully rage on for years. Anthony Gambale - Roto Street Journal
