2025 Player Outlook
The 2024 AL Cy Young award winner will be one of the first two or three starters off the board in drafts this season, and he is ready to headline a fantasy rotation yet again. Over 192 IP last season, Skubal went 18-4 with a 2.39 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and a league-high 228 strikeouts. Detroit may not have the most overpowering offense in the game, but Skubal doesn't need a ton of run support to rack up the wins. In 2025, even if Skubal doesn't match last year's 18 wins, he's going to be an elite producer in all starting pitching categories and give your fantasy team a dominant ace.
