As we gear up for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season, the conversation around emerging pitchers is heating up, and I want to hear your thoughts on some intriguing names that could make or break your draft strategy.
First up, let's talk about Jackson Jobe. The hype around him is palpable, but is he worth the risk? He has a diverse pitch arsenal and the potential to be a top 60 SP if he secures a rotation spot. Are you willing to stash him early in the season, or do you think the Tigers will keep him in the minors longer than expected?
Then there's Clay Holmes, who is making the transition from reliever to starter. This move could either be a stroke of genius or a disaster waiting to happen. What do you think about his potential as a starter? Can he maintain effectiveness with a lower velocity, or will he struggle to adapt?
Grant Holmes is another name to consider. He has shown promise with his strike rates and pitch mix, but can he handle the pressure of a full season? With the Braves' rotation situation, do you see him as a sleeper pick or a risky gamble?
And let's not forget about Drew Rasmussen. His ability to suppress contact is impressive, but with the possibility of being relegated to the bullpen, how do you approach drafting him? Is he worth the late-round flier, or do you think there are safer options available?
Lastly, Kris Bubic has been a rollercoaster ride for fantasy managers. After his Tommy John surgery, he seems to have found some consistency, but can he keep it up? With a clear path to the rotation, is he a must-draft in deeper leagues, or do you think his past performance will haunt him?
I want to hear your bold predictions for these pitchers and any other names you think could surprise us in 2025. Who are you targeting, and who are you avoiding? Let’s get the discussion rolling!
