Fantasy Impact: Despite the strikeouts, his elevated WHIP and 1.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio raise concerns for his fantasy viability moving forward. His 2.89 ERA is solid, but the underlying metrics suggest he could be due for regression if he doesn't improve his control and limit baserunners.

However, his low BABIP suggests that he may still be due for some regression, so fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely moving forward.

With a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 2.50, Gillispie has shown potential. Fantasy managers should monitor his next starts closely, as he could be a streaming option if he continues to improve.
