Fantasy Baseball Alert: Which Starting Pitchers Are Dominating and Which Are Crumbling as We Approach Midseason 2025?
Brown certainly belongs in this company, as he’s fifth in fWAR over the past calendar year. He’s improved in the key areas this year — more strikeouts, fewer walks, slight dip in home runs allowed. He’s even added a tick to his fastball. The Tigers have to be kicking themselves over Brown, who pitched at Wayne State in Detroit and lasted until the fifth round of the 2019 draft. Imagine a rotation with Skubal and Brown at the top of it; the Tigers could have had it fairly easily.
We can’t take that Fried 1.89 ERA at face value — batted-ball contact says the true number should be 3.35. But Fried has elite walk and ground-ball rates, and his home-run rate is always outstanding. The recent dip from the Yankees might also help Fried fantasy managers, improving the chances of New York needing to win games all through September.
