Cole Ragans was a hot entity heading into the 2024 fantasy season, and he delivered on expectations. He pitched 186 1/3 innings, struck out 223 batters, and ended with a 3.14 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. His xERA and xFIP mostly backed up these numbers, and his 29.3% K rate landed him in the 88th percentile of the league. He walked a few more batters than fantasy managers would have liked (8.8 BB%) and seemed to run out of steam near the end of the season. However, he has plenty of upside heading into 2025 and can hold down a fantasy rotation's SP1 spot.

Cole Ragans signs three-year extension with Royals

The Royals signed Cole Ragans to a three-year, $13.25 million contract extension.

Fantasy Impact

This is a deal that works out for both sides coming off a very strong campaign put together by Ragans. He should be one of the first 10-15 or so starting pitchers off the board in fantasy drafts this season.
