2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mathews looked to be on the precipice of the big leagues following a breakout 2024 season that saw him lead all of the minor leagues in strikeouts. Unfortunately, he took a large step back in 2025, both in terms of stuff and performance. After seeing his velocity spike in 2024, Mathews' four-seamer was back to sitting in the low-90s in 2025, and perhaps even more worrisome were the 74 walks he issued in 94 frames at Triple-A Memphis. He also missed time early in the season with shoulder soreness. The path for Mathews to join the Cardinals' rotation remains clear if he can bounce back in 2025, but enthusiasm for the left-hander has waned over the last year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a $600,000 contract with the Cardinals in July of 2023.
Turning things around at Triple-A
Mathews has a 2.70 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 25:5 K:BB in 16.2 innings over his last three starts for Triple-A Memphis.
Analysis
Mathews has failed to meet expectations this season, logging an 18 percent walk rate and 1.65 WHIP in 65 innings at Triple-A with an early-season shoulder injury mixed in. However, this most recent stretch is his best of the season, so it would at least seem that he is healthy and making progress with his shoddy control.
