Emmet Sheehan took a meaningful step forward in 2025, trimming his ERA from 4.92 in 2023 to 2.82 while improving nearly every underlying indicator. His strikeout rate jumped to 30.6% (up from 25.8%), supported by a 10.9 K/9 and a sharp drop in walk rate (7.6%), leading to a strong 4.05 K/BB ratio. Opponents managed just a .185 batting average and .568 OPS against him, and his HR rate was cut nearly in half (4.4% to 2.4%), signaling improved pitch execution and command within the zone. The profile isn't without volatility — his fly-ball lean (career 0.50 GB/FB) can create some homer risk in tougher matchups — but the swing-and-miss foundation is real, and his 2.93 FIP in 2025 backs up the breakout. If his 2026 projections hold near a double-digit K/9 with solid ratios, Sheehan profiles as a high-upside SP3 in 12-team formats with SP2 weeks when the command is dialed in. On a strong Dodgers roster, the win equity further boosts his fantasy appeal, making him a worthwhile mid-round target for managers chasing strikeouts without paying ace prices.
