2025 Fantasy Baseball Draft Notes

Tarik Skubal Note

Tarik Skubal tore into the 2024 season and walked away with the AL Cy Young Award. The 27-year-old went 18-4, threw 192 innings, and struck out 228. His sparkling ERA of 2.39 and FIP of 2.49 went along with his 91st-percentile K% (30.3). He also had an elite walk rate of 4.6%. It's not bad for a guy people were concerned about coming off flexor tendon surgery. Skubal combines an effective 4-seam fastball with a devastating changeup that induced a 46.1 Whiff% in 2024. There is nothing in Skubal's profile to give fantasy managers pause, and he is projected to get right up to the 200-inning mark while pitching in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. It's a debate between him and Paul Skenes for who the true SP1 is in 2025, but Skubal brings plenty of stability to the position for fantasy managers.

Jack Flaherty Note

Jack Flaherty delivered a strong 2024 season, posting a 13-7 record with a 3.17 ERA and 194 strikeouts over 162 innings pitched. He began the year with the Tigers, achieving a 2.95 ERA and 133 strikeouts in 18 starts. A midseason trade to the Dodgers saw him continue his solid performance, recording a 6-2 record with a 3.58 ERA in 10 starts. Flaherty's Statcast metrics indicate a barrel rate of 7.7%, suggesting effective contact management. Now entering his age-29 season and returning to Detroit, Flaherty's health and ability to maintain his regular-season form will be pivotal for his fantasy value in 2025.
