2025 Fantasy Outlook
Burnes was everything the Orioles could have hoped for when they traded for him, as he took the ball 32 times during the regular season and pitched to a 2.92 ERA, seventh lowest among qualified starters. The right-hander added eight innings of one-run ball in his lone postseason start before Baltimore was bounced by Kansas City. Burnes surprised the baseball world in December when he inked a six-year, $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks. There may be some slight yellow flags, including a 23.1 K% last season, down significantly from just a couple years ago, coinciding with a drop in whiff rate on his curveball. Burnes is now on the wrong side of 30, but throwing hard, limiting walks and racking up innings make him a rare commodity given the current pitching landscape. The underlying numbers over the past couple years point to him being more of a low-to-mid 3.00s ERA pitcher, but if the strikeouts ramp back up it would help to stave off regression.

Burnes struck out all three batters faced in one inning Friday against the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Burnes requested to pitch the Cactus League opener, and manager Torey Lovullo obliged. The right-hander was in the zone, landing 12 of 16 pitches for strikes. While he looked in midseason form, Burnes told Steve Gilbert of MLB.com that he's going to need two or three outings to feel he has everything under control. He threw mostly cutters -- the pitch he throws most often -- and sprinkled in his changeup, curveball, sinker and slider.

2017
The right-hander's 2023 got off to an inauspicious start, with an ugly arbitration battle publicly straining the relationship between Burnes and the Brewers. Always the consummate professional, Burnes put together another highly successful campaign despite some hiccups, leading qualified National League starters in WHIP while reaching 200 strikeouts for the third consecutive season. His swing-and-miss dominance took a hit as Burnes averaged just over a strikeout per inning (25.5 K%), coinciding with a dip in fastball velocity. His sinking fastball let him down and the 10 wins were a disappointment, but Burnes has four above-average pitches to lean on and still projects as a fantasy ace after being traded to the Orioles in February. If the strikeouts tick back up, Burnes could find himself in the Cy Young discussion once again.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets trade protection
Burnes' six-year, $210 million contract with the Diamondbacks includes an opt-out after 2026 with full no-trade protection for the first two years and limited trade protection for the final four years of the deal, per Robert Murray of FanSided.com.
ANALYSIS
Lefty Max Fried set the market in total value with an eight-year, $218 million deal, while Burnes has a higher average annual value but $60 million in deferred money. The veteran right-hander has been one of the most reliable aces in baseball over the past few years and had a 2.92 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 181:48 K:BB over 194.1 frames in 32 regular-season starts with Baltimore last season. However, his strikeout rate has dropped in each of the past four years, with 2024's 23.1 percent representing a career low as an MLB starter.
