2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hancock was the Mariners' "sixth starter" last season, mostly filling in for Bryan Woo from time to time when Woo's elbow acted up. He wound up making 12 starts and was thoroughly underwhelming with a 4.75 ERA (5.69 FIP) and lowly 14.7 percent strikeout rate. Control is a strong suit for Hancock, but if you're going to be so feeble at missing bats you'd better generate lots of ground balls and/or soft contact and the right-hander does neither of those things. Hancock has the pedigree of a No. 6 overall pick and former top-100 prospect, but he's never really looked like anything more than a potential back-end starter and his performance thus far at the big-league level suggests he might not even reach that level.

Signed a one-year contract with the Mariners in March of 2025.
Strong in spot start
Hancock allowed two hits and struck out seven without walking a batter over four scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Thursday.
Analysis
Hancock got the spot start since Bryan Woo (pectoral) was unavailable. This was Hancock's first start since July 1, as he had served out of the bullpen since rejoining the Mariners at the start of September. He's on a 9.2-inning scoreless streak over his last five appearances. Hancock has a 4.90 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 64:31 K:BB through 90 innings across 22 appearances (16 starts) in the majors this season. If the 26-year-old is on the Mariners' postseason roster, he will likely be a multi-inning option out of the bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2021
Hancock was the sixth pick of the 2020 MLB Draft, and the product of Georgia hasn't shown much consistency in his time as a professional. He was able to reach the majors in 2023, however, and he appeared to have a spot in the Seattle rotation for the remainder of the season until he was diagnosed with a Grade 1-plus shoulder strain in August after making three starts with Seattle. The 24-year-old doesn't have an overpowering fastball, but he commands it well enough to get ahead in counts, and his slider has a chance to be an out-pitch at the highest level. Hancock is not a future ace and he doesn't seem likely to be a part of the Seattle rotation to open the year, but he's a name that's worth keeping an eye on if he does get the chance or he changes organization.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Name dropped in Ohtani rumors
Emerson could be a prospect on the move if Seattle emerges as a suitor for Shohei Ohtani at the deadline, writes Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
Analysis
Hancock was the sixth overall selection in the 2020 Draft and currently resides in Double-A. The 6-foot-4, 24-year-old owns a 4.19 ERA across 41 starts with the affiliate over the past two seasons but carries pedigree and upside that could intrigue the Angels.
