2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cousins, who was traded from the White Sox to the Yankees last March, rode the success of his slider (66 percent usage, .141 BA, 47.7 percent whiff) to earn a high-leverage role with New York during the second-half of 2024, including the postseason. The 30-year-old righty's 34.2 percent strikeout rate would have been a top-15 mark among relief pitchers if he threw enough innings to qualify - he only completed 38 frames last year, though it was a career-high. Unfortunately, control issues continue to limit Cousins' upside, as he's walked nearly 15 percent of the batters he's faced over his career. He's likely to fill a low-to-medium leverage role for the Yankees in 2025, though he has the potential to climb the saves hierarchy if he finds the strike zone on a more consistent basis.
