2025 Fantasy Outlook
Priester compiled a 5.04 ERA and 1.46 WHIP for the Pirates i 2024 before being dealt to the Red Sox at the trade deadline. Boston must feel their biomechanics approach can unlock something with Priester and his pretrade 15.4 percent strikeout rate with seven homers surrendered in 44.2 innings. Priester earned a win at Fenway Park in the last game of the season, but he fanned only two in five stanzas. Priester threw his four-seam fastball, sinker, slider, curve and change-up at least 10 percent of the time, so they have a lot with which to work. Priester is just 24 years old, so it wouldn't be surprising for him to spend much of the season with Triple-A Worcester, trying to revamp his mechanics and arsenal. He throws his two- and four-seam fastballs around 93-mph while his change-up averages 88.5-mph. Broadening the delta is a good place to start. Put Priester in the track-but-don't draft bucket.

Collects third win
Priester (3-2) picked up the win in Wednesday's 9-1 victory over the Reds, allowing one run on two hits and three walks over five relief innings. He struck out four.
ANALYSIS
Entering the game in the fourth inning after DL Hall had blanked Cincinnati for three frames, Priester racked up an impressive 30 called or swinging strikes among his 88 pitches (57 total strikes) to get credited with the win. The right-hander has given up three runs or fewer in six straight appearances (three starts and three bulk relief outings), posting a 2.51 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 19:10 K:BB in 32.1 innings over that stretch. Brandon Woodruff (ankle) got hit on the arm by a comebacker Tuesday in what was expected to be his final rehab start, making it unclear whether Priester will get another turn through the rotation.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
2020
Priester had strong results throughout his climb through the Pirates' minor-league system, primarily based on his slider and curveball. That came to a crashing halt upon his promotion to the majors in mid-July of 2023, with the end result being a 7.74 ERA and 1.70 WHIP across 50 innings. He curiously threw his curveball only 13 percent of the time. While he relied more heavily on his slider (23 percent), the results were a mixed bag as it was hit hard (.659) but did generate whiffs. The real opportunity for a step forward comes from his fastball, which has been a red flag in his profile for those who rely more heavily on data for prospect evaluation. Those concerns came to fruition in Pittsburgh, as his four-seamer was tagged for a .818 slugging percentage by opposing hitters. During the offseason, teammate Henry Davis disclosed that Priester revamped his mechanics to regain velocity that he lost in 2023. In order for Priester to get anywhere near reaching the potential his prospect pedigree implies, he'll need the pitch to be more effective, giving him the ability to play his more advanced offspeed and breaking stuff off the heater. Spring training should give us a hint of whether the offseason changes were effective, which will also dictate potential interest once draft season heats up.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Promotion on horizon?
According to Chris Cotillo of MassLive.com, Red Sox GM Craig Breslow said Sunday that Priester will be in the mix for big-league starts during the final stretch of the season.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander was acquired from Pittsburgh ahead of the July 30 trade deadline, but since the trade he's struggled in three outings for Triple-A Worcester with an 8.74 ERA across 11.1 innings. Priester made 10 appearances for the Pirates this season and posted a 5.04 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 31:13 K:BB across 44.2 innings, so he's not likely to have much fantasy upside if given a look with the Red Sox down the stretch.
