2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart last appeared in the majors in 2020, appearing four times (three starts) for Boston in the pandemic season. He spent last season with the NC Dinos in the KBO, compiling 157 innings over 26 starts. He posted an encouraging 2.69 ERA and 1.032 WHIP, with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.0% walk rate. To put things in perspective, the quality of play in the KBO is considered a tad below Double-A, so a 31-year-old hurler should dominate at the level. That said, Erick Fedde parlayed his year in the KBO into a successful return to MLB, though Fedde was better than Hart during their tenure in the majors. Someone will likely take a chance on Hart, at which point he's someone to track. Until then, he's not worth a roster spot, even in deep draft and hold formats. Read Past Outlooks
Returns stateside in San Diego
Hart signed Thursday with the Padres on a one-year, $1 million contract that includes a $5 million club option for 2026, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After reaching a four-year deal with Nick Pivetta on Wednesday, the Padres have further bolstered their rotation depth with the addition of Hart, a 32-year-old lefty whose lone MLB action came back in 2020, when he tossed 11 innings for the Red Sox. Hart was able to secure an MLB deal on the back of his standout performance this past season in the Korea Baseball Organization with the NC Dinos, as he took home the league's equivalent of the Cy Young Award while turning in a 2.69 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 182:38 K:BB in 157 innings. The lower caliber of competition in the KBO certainly helped Hart achieve his lofty results, but it's been increasingly common in recent years for American pitchers to find MLB success upon returning stateside following impressive stints in Korea, with Erick Fedde and Merrill Kelly both standing out as notable examples. Hart will likely still have to impress in spring training to secure his spot in the San Diego rotation, with knuckleballer Matt Waldron representing Hart's top challenger for the No. 5 spot.
