Notes
	Nick Lodolo finally delivered the healthy, front-line season managers have been waiting for in 2025, logging 156.2 innings with a 3.33 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, and career-best 4.8% walk rate. The improved command was the separator, as his BB% dropped sharply while maintaining a strong 24.3% strikeout rate and suppressing hard contact (87.6 mph EV). Projections forecast another step forward in workload with ratios that remain comfortably above league average, positioning Lodolo as a high-end SP2 with SP1 upside if the command gains hold. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros	Yusei Kikuchi remains a reliable but volatile fantasy arm entering 2026, best viewed as a back-end starter in mixed leagues. The underlying batted-ball profile was mostly stable, but a rising walk rate and middling WHIP capped his fantasy ceiling despite near-league-average run prevention. Kikuchi is still useful for innings and strikeouts, but with limited upside and increased ratio risk compared to prior seasons. He's best deployed as a matchup-dependent SP5 rather than a set-and-forget option. Kelly Kirby - FantasyPros
