Zac Gallen

Gallen was so absurdly dominant in Triple-A in 2019 that his MLB performance, while highly impressive, felt slightly disappointing. But his fastball, curveball, and changeup were all plus pitches in the majors, and there's every reason to expect him to continue to grow as a pitcher. There's somehow some question mark around his rotation spot, but cream usually rises to the top, and he should not only be one of the Diamondbacks' five starters, but he should excel. Expect excellent overall numbers and draft him accordingly.

Zac Gallen so so in third spring appearance

Zac Gallen allowed two earned runs on five hits while striking out two and walking a pair over 3.2 innings in Saturday's 6-6 tie against the Angels.

Fantasy Impact

Gallen has now given up five earned runs over 8.0 innings with a 7/3 K/BB ratio so far this spring. The hype continues to build for the 24-year old who's current ADP is at 131 per FantasyPros. He's becoming a favorite breakout candidate of the fantasy community and his stock should continue to rise as we get closer to the start of the season. While he hasn't been guaranteed a rotation spot yet by manger Torey Lovullo he'll have a few more opportunities to "earn" a spot before opening day.
