2025 Player Outlook

Overall for the 2024 campaign as a member of the Tigers and Dodgers, Flaherty went 13-7 with a 3.17 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and his 162 IP were the most he logged in a regular season since 2019. He's increased the usage on his breaking pitches the past couple of seasons, and his curve (or knuckle curve) posted a 43.6 percent whiff rate and .164 BAA last season. Availability is the name of the game for Flaherty, and he showed what he can do when he stays healthy, but I wouldn't be quick to remove any injury concerns from Flaherty's ledger. Flaherty is an SP3 for fantasy this year, but there's considerable risk at his ADP with his track record.
