2025 Player Outlook
Gallen saw his strikeout rate decline for a third-straight season, as it fell to 25.1 percent in 2024. His 8.1 percent walk rate and 3.65 ERA also represented three-year highs. Gallen is still on the right side of the age curve at 29, and he pitches for a D-backs team that should be in Wild Card contention down the stretch. If he can halt the free fall of his strikeout rate and return his walk rate to 6 percent range, Gallen has a chance to be a fantasy ace again.
