Expert Note
View More NotesNathan Eovaldi delivered one of the most dominant seasons of his career in 2025, posting a microscopic 1.73 ERA with elite run suppression backed by a .194 opponent average and a career-best 26.0% strikeout rate. Even though the ERA was aided by luck (xERA 3.02, career-low BABIP of .243), the underlying skills support much of the breakout, as his walk rate dropped to 4.2% and his hard-hit rate fell below 40%. While durability remains the primary concern entering his age-36 season, the 2026 projections still view him as a high-quality rotation anchor with strong ratios and solid strikeout volume when healthy. In fantasy formats, Eovaldi profiles as a calculated upside SP2 whose value hinges on workload but whose efficiency can meaningfully outperform his draft cost.
