The right-hander inked a two-year contract with the Yankees in January of 2024 but had an up-and-down first season in the Bronx, finishing with a 4.31 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 113:60 K:BB over 154.2 innings. Stroman has never been a big strikeout guy, but his 16.7 percent strikeout rate last year was a career worst as his average fastball velocity dropped nearly two ticks to 90 mph. He's been able to offset the low strikeout totals throughout his career by inducing grounders, but a 49.3 percent groundball rate and 9.9-degree launch angle were both the lowest and highest numbers, respectively, in his 10 MLB campaigns. He may have been fortunate to get the results he did with a 4.87 xERA and 4.50 xFIP, so positive regression isn't likely in his age-34 campaign. Still, there's a decent chance for a rebound given that Stroman had a 3.38 ERA across the four previous seasons, but he'll need to sharpen his pitch placement and get the ball back on the ground. Even if he does bounce back, Stroman has a limited fantasy ceiling unless he's fully able to regain that younger form since he's a groundball pitcher that doesn't get a lot of strikeouts.
