2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hoffman broke out as a full-time reliever over the last two seasons with Philadelphia, posting a remarkable 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 158:35 K:BB over 118.2 regular-season innings. These results are a stark contrast from his time as a starting pitcher, for which Hoffman has plenty of past experience, but owns a career 5.64 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 237.2 innings. Despite this glaring differential in Hoffman's splits, the 2025 free agent was pursued by some teams as a starter before ultimately landing a three-year deal with Toronto, where he's expected to be in the mix at closer. A change in Hoffman's role may force him to adjust his pitch mix, which has featured a devastating slider as his primary offering over the past two seasons. His fastball velocity could also be impacted, as Hoffman previously sat in the 93-to-94 mph range as a starter compared to the 96-to-97 mph range in recent seasons. Hoffman will likely be the early favorite for saves but may not work as a traditional closer, with a committee with Yimi Garcia being possible. Read Past Outlooks

Hoffman spent spring training with the Twins organization, but was granted his release after failing to make their Opening Day roster. A few days later, he signed a minor-league contract with Philadelphia, with whom he'd spend the next month in Triple-A before he was promoted to the active roster in early May. The 30-year-old worked out of the Phillies bullpen, flashing significantly improved velocity on all three of his pitches. He saw the biggest spike on his slider, averaging 87.8 mph on the pitch compared to 81.2 mph in 2022. Hoffman saw excellent results on the pitch (.074 BA, 44.6% whiff) and used it as his primary offering for the first time in his career over his now upper-90's fastball (97.1 mph average). Hoffman finished the year with a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate alongside career-best ratios (2.41 ERA, 0.92 WHIP), while many of his Statcast metrics were in the 95th percentile or better. It's clear his future is as a reliever.
