2026 Fantasy Outlook
Valdez is just one of five pitchers to work at least 900 innings over the past four baseball seasons, joining Logan Webb, Kevin Gausman, Jose Berrios and Zack Wheeler. Out of all pitchers with at least 600 innings pitched from 2021-2025, his 68 wins ranks first, his 3.20 ERA ranks eighth, his strikeouts 13th, and his 1.17 WHIP 23rd. He allowed two or fewer earned runs in 18 of his 31 starts in 2025, with 11 of those including zero or one earned runs in six-plus innings of work. He also threw in five outings with 10-plus strikeouts. He is, however, not immune to occasional awful outing, as in 2025 he twice allowed seven earned runs without any homers allowed and had seven overall outings with at least five earned runs allowed. Only Webb and Max Fried have better HR/9 than Valdez has had over the past four seasons for the aforementioned qualification, which helps Valdez avoid bigger troubles. If you are a believer in Saberhagenmetrics, Valdez does better in even years, but his overall consistency over the past four seasons is tough for any other pitcher to match. Valdez is not flashy, but he volumes his way to success like few others. Read Past Outlooks
