Detroit Tigers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hurter made his MLB debut in 2024 and was a bit of a pleasant surprise for the Tigers. The 26-year-old posted a 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 38 strikeouts across 45.1 innings. What made the performance surprising was the fact that Hurter posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 71.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo earlier in the year, which also marked his first stop at that level. The unheralded rookie mostly pitched in relief for Detroit, though it was largely in a bulk role, and he also did make one start. Hurter benefited from a .236 BABIP, so some regression could be in store over a longer time period, but his 3.03 FIP suggests that he wasn't overly lucky. Following his successful debut, Hurter could transition into a more typical rotation spot in 2025, depending on how the Tigers approach their pitching staff. Either way, the young southpaw has put himself on the fantasy radar, and he makes for an intriguing upside play. Read Past Outlooks

Picks up first 2025 win
PDetroit Tigers
April 27, 2025
Hurter (1-0) gave up one run across 2.1 innings of relief to earn the win in the second game of Saturday's doubleheader with the Orioles. He allowed a hit and two walks.
ANALYSIS
After Keider Montero covered 4.1 innings to start the game, Hurter finished the fifth then worked into the seventh to earn his first win of the season. The lefty has been solid with a 2.65 ERA across 17 innings, which is in line with the 2.58 ERA he posted across 45.1 regular-season innings in 2024. Hurter isn't missing many bats, however, with only 11 strikeouts across those 17 frames.

Stat Review
How does Brant Hurter compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
