Matt Brash

If you play in only nonkeeper league formats, you do not need to read on any further. Brash had Tommy John surgery, which included installing a brace around the repaired ligament, and that surgery was completed May 10, 2024. Best-case scenario is he makes it back on the mound in Seattle by Memorial Day weekend, but these situations rarely work out in those best-case scenarios. The more likely outcome is Brash is back in the big leagues closer to the mid-summer classic and resumes his high strikeout and high walk ways while frequently showing up on Pitching Ninja clips. Pre-injury, his slider was one of the more unhittable pitches in all of baseball and he threw the pitch 51 percent of the time to hitters. Unfortunately, everything else he threw in 2023 was too hittable, as the league hit anywhere from .300 to .429 against his other offerings. Command is always the last thing to come back in these situations, and Brash did not have much to spare before his injury. He will likely be more fun to watch in social media clips than he will be to have on your roster in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
