Jose Berrios
Jose Berrios's calling card is durability. The 30-year-old started exactly 32 games for the fourth consecutive year in 2024. In the 192 1/3 innings he pitched, he struck out 153 batters and ended with a 3.60 and 1.15 WHIP. He also won 16 games, which is a very high number considering the team he was playing for. Berrios's disastrous 2022 does appear to be an outlier in terms of ERA/WHIP, but his Statcast page is ugly, save for a low walk percentage (6.9%). Fantasy managers cannot expect him to win half his games again this season, but he is a perfectly serviceable SP4 or SP5 you can draft in the late rounds.

Chris Bassitt
Chris Bassitt started 30+ games for the third year in a row in 2024, but he also suffered his second-worst career ERA at 4.16 to go along with an uncharacteristic WHIP of 1.46. The 35-year-old's strikeout rate stayed consistent at 22.2%, but his walk rate jumped over two percentage points to 9.2%. While he did manage 10 wins on a terrible team, he had trouble fooling hitters with his sinker and change-up, which is a harbinger for bad things to come. Bassitt is much more of a streamer/waiver wire pickup in 2025 than the durable innings eater fantasy managers have enjoyed in recent years.
