Expert Note
View More NotesIf you drafted Lucas Giolito in 2022, chances are good you spent a great deal of time debating whether or not to drop him, trade him, or hold. The good news is that he wasn't as bad as his surface numbers. He had an ERA of 4.90 but an xFIP of 3.66. The other news is that his fastball velocity and K% decreased while his BB% increased. Giolito is only 28 years old, and his ADP puts him somewhere around the 13th round. He should be better in 2023, but no promises he will return to his 2019-2021 form.

Fantasy Impact
Giolito came into 2022 weighing 280 pounds but has come into 2023 weighing 245 pounds. He also explained how he is working on his mechanics back to a "nice, fluid state, getting everything on time and firing correctly." He had a tough 2022 season (4.90 ERA in 161.2 innings). But he seems to be making extra steps to improving that in 2023.
