2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cannon's rookie season qualified as one of the few success stories for the woeful White Sox in 2024. Highlights for the right-hander included falling one out shy of a shutout against the Astros in a June start and going at least six innings in 11 of his final 18 outings. A 17.7 percent strikeout was underwhelming but expected for a guy who had just a 20.4 percent strikeout rate in the minors. He also had just a 38.1 percent ground ball rate with the White Sox after specializing in that area in the minors. Cannon has displayed good control dating back to his college days at Georgia and that continued with the White Sox as he sported a 7.7 percent walk rate over 124.1 frames. While the 24-year-old has the look of someone who could be a back-end rotation starter for a while, the lack of bat-missing ability and horrible team context makes Cannon pretty unappealing in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks
Effective in short start
Cannon tossed 4.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision against the Athletics on Wednesday, allowing three hits and two walks while striking out four batters.
ANALYSIS
Cannon gave up just three hits and wasn't egregiously wild -- he threw 52 of 88 pitches for strikes and issued a tolerable two walks -- but he nonetheless lasted just 4.1 frames. In spite of the short outing, the right-hander made some positive strides by holding the A's scoreless after giving up nine runs over nine innings across his previous two starts. Cannon lowered his season ERA to 4.52, and he also has a 1.53 WHIP and 18:11 K:BB through 18.1 frames.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
A groundball specialist, Cannon lacks a plus pitch, but his sinker/slider combination is designed to generate weak contact. The 6-foot-6 righty also mixes in a 90-mph cutter, low-80s curveball and a changeup. He posted a 5.77 ERA and 1.57 WHIP in 11 starts at Double-A last year, but he was a bit unlucky (56.2 LOB%, .346 BABIP). Cannon had much more success in his first two starts of 2024 at Triple-A, maintaining a groundball rate north of 50 percent while striking out a career-best 25.6 percent of batters, albeit with an 11.6 percent walk rate. The White Sox will add Cannon to the rotation earlier than expected in mid-April, and keeping the ball on the ground will be his ticket to sticking around.
