2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gore set new bests with 32 starts and 166.1 innings. His strikeout and walk rates were like the previous season but he did a much better job keeping the ball in the yard. Unfortunately, a .340 BABIP and 68.1 percent left-on-base mark sabotaged his effort, especially WHIP where his 1.42 mark was third worst among qualified pitchers. An inordinately high line-drive rate bloated his BABIP, so Gore should enjoy some regression in that area this season. Gore didn't alter his pitch mix or location much, but he added a tick to his fastball and slider while taking something off his curve and changeup, which helped keep hitters off balance. Gore has established durability, now he needs to fine-tune his control to become more than a fantasy streaming option. Entering his 26-year-old season, it's worth taking the chance he can achieve it.

Dominates with six one-hit innings
Gore didn't factor into the decision Thursday after allowing one hit over six scoreless innings during a loss to the Phillies. He struck out 13 without walking a batter.
ANALYSIS
It was a brilliant showing by the southpaw, whose dominance notably came against a star-studded Phillies lineup. A Kyle Schwarber single in the second inning would end up spoiling what was an otherwise perfect outing from Gore, who starts his third full major-league season looking to take a big step forward. Per Chad Jennings of The Athletic, Hall of Famer Bob Gibson is the only other pitcher in MLB history to strike out at least 13 batters on Opening Day without giving up a run or issuing a walk.

Part of the Nationals' return from the Padres for Juan Soto in August of 2022, Gore is coming off a good-not-great first full MLB season. Well, it wasn't actually a completely full season because the Nats shut him down in early September due to a blister on his left index finger. That's a non-issue now, though, and the young southpaw will be looking to build this year on the things he did best in 2023. One of the hardest-throwing lefties in the sport, Gore used his fastball and power slider to strike out 151 batters over 136.1 innings, delivering a 26.0 strikeout percentage that ranked top-20 among the 87 big-league pitchers who logged more than 130 innings last year. If he can rein in his command and find more trust in the other elements of his five-pitch arsenal, the groundwork will be laid for Gore to quickly rise up the ranks of dependable fantasy starters. At the moment, the dependability is still a bit in question.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Showing growth
Gore has logged a 3.43 ERA across 21.0 innings through four starts this season. Command is still an issue for the 24-year-old, issuing 14 walks over that span.
ANALYSIS
Gore's 0.56 BB/K ratio disguises Gore's improved strikeout numbers. His 29.1 percent strikeout rate is a noticeable jump from 23.3 percent last season, and he ranks among the top-15 pitchers league-wide in generating whiffs. Gore's control issues are a serious trend to monitor, but other green flags are in the picture as well.
