2025 Fantasy Outlook
Casparius has a pair of monster breaking balls and successfully navigated his first season pitching in the Pacific Coast League. The 25-year-old righty logged a 3.36 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 72:35 K:BB in 67 innings across 16 appearances for Triple-A Oklahoma City. He has been consistently mediocre from a control standpoint, logging walk rates between 10.5 percent and 12.5 percent in his last eight professional assignments dating back to Single-A in 2021 and including his 8.1 innings in the majors in 2024. While his 95.6 mph fastball has good velocity, it was the one pitch big leaguers were able to handle, logging a .342 wOBA and .396 xwOBA against it. Even so, if just his command or fastball improved slightly, Casparius might be able to ride his slider and curveball to significant strikeout totals working as a big-league starter. The Dodgers helped Casparius get to this point, but their internal depth may also prevent him from getting many big-league starts in 2025. He's a nice trade chip for the Dodgers and a solid sleeper in dynasty and redraft leagues, even though there's still a chance he ends up a high-leverage reliever. Read Past Outlooks
Provides big boost in relief
Casparius earned a hold against the Mets in Friday's extra-innings contest, allowing one walk and striking out six batters in three hitless and scoreless frames.
ANALYSIS
A 98-minute rain delay in the top of the third inning caused both starting pitchers to have abbreviated outings, with Los Angeles' Clayton Kershaw tossing just two innings. Matt Sauer and Casparius absorbed three innings apiece thereafter to help preserve the team's bullpen, though LA still used eight pitchers overall due to the game lasting 13 frames. Casparius' outing was the most impressive of any of the team's hurlers -- he not only held New York hitless but also notched 13 whiffs on just 46 pitches and struck out six of the 10 batters he faced, including Juan Soto, Pete Alonso and Francisco Lindor (twice). The dominant effort was a continuation of what has been a breakthrough campaign for the right-hander. In addition to posting a 2.94 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 38:6 K:BB through 33.2 innings, Casparius ranks above the 80th percentile in almost every advanced metric, including in the 93rd percentile in pitching run value and in the 95th percentile in fastball run value.
