Shane Bieber traded an elite K% for an elite BB% in 2022, providing fantasy managers with a different type of ace on their pitching staff. He still struck out 198 batters in 200 innings, but his true value was in his 2.88 ERA and 1.04 WHIP. His xERA was 3.51, but his xFIP was 2.98, which is encouraging for 2023. Bieber will not dazzle you with an overpowering fastball, and he occasionally gets lit up by hard contact, but his K/BB ratio of 5.50 will provide a great floor to rely on.

Shane Bieber on track for fourth straight Opening Day start

Cleveland Guardians manager Terry Francona has said 'it's obviously a given' that Shane Bieber is working towards making his fourth straight Opening Day start.

Fantasy Impact

It's zero surprise the Guardians' ace is set to get another Opening Day nod coming off a dominant 2022 season. Bieber tossed exactly 200 innings of 2.88 ERA ball and while his K-rate dropped to 25%, a decreased walk rate led to a strong 20.5% K-BB%. The right-hander has pitched to a 3.28 ERA or better in each of the last four seasons and remains one of the game's elite fantasy options as a result.
