2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Strider's 2025 was a harsh lesson in how recency bias can impact a fantasy team. Strider entered the season coming off an internal brace surgery, which is still a rather nascent operation for major league pitchers. Our outlook for Strider last year outlined the lack of sample size for such pitchers in their first year back from this specific surgery, noting no pitcher had even 60 innings that season. The good news for Strider is he more than doubled that stat by working 125.1 innings in 2025, but that is where the good news ends. Strider was hitting triple-digits in the spring in short stints, and fantasy managers acted accordingly, drafting him as high as 25th overall and making him the 33rd pitcher off the board in Rotowire Online Championship drafts. Yet, Strider's in-season velocity was down two miles an hour from where he was presurgery in 2023, and his numbers suffered accordingly. His strikeout rate dropped from 36.8 percent to 24.3 percent while the league hit .258 against him after hitting .210 against him prior to his surgery. Offseason reports have him working to improve his velocity after reworking his pitch mix, but the key to him rediscovering that form will be sustaining that velocity beyond North Port, Florida in 2026.

Logs quality start in loss
Strider (7-14) took the loss against the Pirates on Saturday, allowing three runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over six innings.
Analysis
Strider generated 15 whiffs on 85 pitches and entered the sixth inning locked in a pitcher's duel before allowing two runs in the frame. While 2025 was a disappointing campaign overall, the 26-year-old closed on a steadier note, allowing three earned runs or fewer in each of his final six starts. He'll finish the season with a 4.45 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 131:51 K:BB across 125.1 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Strider's 2024 season lasted all of nine innings when a bone fragment cut into his UCL and attempted to undo the repairs done by his 2019 Tommy John surgery. The good news is that this injury was not a complete tear, so Dr. Keith Meister was able to use the internal brace procedure to repair it in mid-April. The most recent pitcher to come back from this procedure was Tampa Bay's Drew Rasmussen who had his surgery in late July 2023 and returned in 2024 to pitch rather effectively, albeit for just 36 innings between Triple-A and the big leagues. Bryan Woo had the surgery in early April of 2021 and worked just under 60 innings at the lower levels of the minor leagues in 2022. The simple fact is we do not know how much Strider will be able to pitch in 2025. The internal brace procedure has a shorter recovery time than full Tommy John surgery, but someone being back on the mound and being back to their presurgery level of performance are two different matters. The risk/reward here is tremendous, but drafting Strider as a staff ace and then potentially seeing him work below 100 innings in 2025 would have trickle-down effects to many fantasy rosters. We've yet to see a starting pitcher have this surgery and resume a presurgery workload the following season. Perhaps Strider will be the first, but don't count on it.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Using slider more this season
Strider, who is scheduled to start Game 1 of Monday's doubleheader against the Mets after two straight postponements, has increased the usage of his slider to 34.9 percent through his first five outings of 2023, per David O'Brien of The Athletic.
Analysis
The right-hander's fastball usage is down slightly to 59.1 percent, but he remains reliant on those two pitches. A two-pitch mix is usually a major limitation for starting pitchers, but Strider continues to dominate with a 1.80 ERA, 0.83 WHIP and 49:11 K:BB over 30 innings after he finished 2022 with a 2.67 ERA and 202 strikeouts in just 131.2 frames. The 24-year-old also has a changeup he throws 4.3 percent of the time, but there's no real need to further rely on the tertiary pitch while his first two offerings are so dominant.
