2025 Fantasy Outlook
Warren hasn't put it all together yet, but he consistently misses bats while limiting the walks enough to keep the dream of starting alive. He had a 10.32 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 22.2 innings last year in his first taste of the majors, yet Warren's 17.3 K-BB% was better than Luis Gil's 14.8 K-BB% and in the same ballpark as Nestor Cortes (17.3 K-BB%), Clarke Schmidt (17.8 K-BB%) and Gerrit Cole (17.9 K-BB%). Warren's best offering by far is his low-80s sweeper, and that fastball/sweeper combo allowed him to log a 28.6 K-BB% against righties, but he was completely ineffective against lefties (1.9 K-BB%, 2.30 WHIP), and he'll need to improve either his changeup (12% usage) or cutter (4% usage) to successfully navigate a big-league lineup multiple times. Warren should return to Triple-A, but he could make double-digit starts in the majors as a fill-in option with a dash of breakout potential and a good reason to watch him in the spring (looking to see how he does against left-handed hitters).

May 31, 2025
Warren (3-3) took the loss against the Dodgers on Saturday, allowing seven runs on six hits and four walks while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.
ANALYSIS
Warren entered Saturday as one of the hottest pitchers in baseball, compiling a 2.05 ERA, 0.91 WHIP and 33:5 K:BB over his previous four starts. However, he was unable to continue the strong stretch against the defending champions, as the right-hander gave up four runs in the first inning and another three in the second, exiting after serving up a three-run blast to Max Muncy with one out in that frame. Warren's lack of control was a large part of his woes -- he tossed just 29 of 57 pitches for strikes and tied a season high with four walks during his brief time on the mound. The outing was Warren's shortest of the season, and the seven runs were the most he's given up on the campaign. The blow-up increased his overall ERA by more than a run from 4.09 to 5.19, but Warren pitched well enough throughout May to earn a bit of leash, and he should get an opportunity to bounce back in his next start, which is projected to be at home against Boston.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Warren dominated down the stretch at Triple-A and has a 70-grade sweeper that averaged over 3,000 RPMs last year to go with a 93-94 mph fastball that touches 97 mph. He also throws an 89-mph changeup and a standard slider that is thrown harder and with less spin than his sweeper. He had a 2.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in 55.2 innings over his final 10 starts at Triple-A and had a 52.7 percent groundball rate over 99.2 innings at that level. Automated balls and strikes contributed to his 10.9 percent walk rate, and Warren should have good enough control to start long term. He looks like a No. 3 starter on paper and could exceed that projection if the command gains he showed down the stretch hold. Warren tallied 129 total innings and turns 25 in June. He could compete for a rotation spot in spring training, especially if anyone else in the rotation is dealing with an injury.
