2026 Fantasy Outlook
After being limited to just 10.2 innings across three abbreviated starts in his return from Tommy John surgery at the tail end of 2024, deGrom surprised many by taking the ball 30 times for the Rangers last season, totaling 172.2 frames. While he continued to pitch well by any standard with a 2.97 ERA and 0.92 WHIP, the swing-and-miss wasn't quite what deGrom displayed earlier in his career, as his strikeout rate fell to 27.7% (career 30.6%). A five-time All-Star and two-time Cy Young winner, deGrom can be forgiven for no longer possessing the otherworldly dominance that once made him the No. 1 arm off the board in fantasy drafts. His velocity is down a couple ticks since his return from TJS, and it's possible 2025 ends up as an outlier from a workload standpoint. Prior to 2025, deGrom had not reached even 100 major-league innings in a season since 2019, and he turns 38 this summer. DeGrom showed in 2025 that he can still hang zeros with the best of them, but with the stuff diminished a bit, so too are the spoils of the rewards. Read Past Outlooks
