2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cole missed nearly the entire first half with elbow nerve inflammation but came back to make 17 starts, albeit not at the same level of dominance he had pitched at from 2018 through 2023. However, Cole's elbow started barking in an early-March spring start and it was quickly revealed he would need Tommy John surgery, wiping out his 2025 season. Cole's 25.4 percent strikeout rate and 17.9 K-BB% were his lowest rates since leaving Pittsburgh and the strikeout rate has now worsened each of the past four seasons. Perhaps it was the rust of missing so much early time as his walk rate was also his worst since 2018. Most of Cole's other measures held up well enough, but seeing his average fastball velocity dip below 96.0 mph for the first time in seven seasons was a red flag even before the injury this spring. Cole has a chance to return in the summer of 2026. Read Past Outlooks
