2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Ryan Pepiot Note
	61. Ryan Pepiot SP

Pete Fairbanks Note
	67. Pete Fairbanks RP Pete Fairbanks served as the Tampa Bay Rays' closer in 2024, recording 23 saves across 46 appearances. He posted a 3.57 ERA and a 1.17 WHIP over 45.1 innings, with 44 strikeouts against 17 walks. While his strikeout rate dipped to 8.74 K/9 from 13.50 K/9 in 2023, his walk rate improved to 3.38 BB/9 from 3.97 BB/9. At 30 years old, Fairbanks has a history of injuries, including past Tommy John surgery, which could impact his durability. However, his role as the Rays' primary closer and his ability to limit hits make him a decent mid-round closer. 6 weeks ago

Shane McClanahan Note
	72. Shane McClanahan SP Shane McClanahan missed the entire 2024 season due to Tommy John surgery performed in August 2023. Prior to his injury, McClanahan had established himself as one of MLB's premier pitchers. Over his first three seasons (2021-2023), he compiled a 33-16 record with a stellar 3.02 ERA and 456 strikeouts across 404.2 innings. His 33.4% whiff rate ranked among the top 10 pitchers with at least 400 innings pitched during that span. As McClanahan returns for the 2025 season, it's important to note that this is his second Tommy John surgery, which may lead the Rays to manage his workload cautiously. Adding to this is that the Rays won't be playing in as strong of a pitching environment this season. McClanahan should still be an ace, but tempering expectations will serve fantasy managers well. 6 weeks ago
