2025 Player Outlook

Zack Wheeler has been the most consistently awesome pitcher in baseball over the last five years. Wheeler is one of the only pitchers in baseball you can comfortably project for 200 innings and it still comes with Cy Young upside. The upside of Skenes and Skubal might be higher, but not by much and Wheeler doesn't come with the injury risk of those other top guys. I see arguments for taking Wheeler as the top pitcher in drafts and should probably never be going lower than third.
