2024 Player Outlook

2023 Recap: For the 2023 season as a whole, Peralta posted a 3.86 ERA across 165.2 IP with a 12-10 record, 1.12 WHIP, and 30.9 percent strikeout rate. His 7.9 percent walk rate was the lowest of his career, and a dominant end to the season really padded those stats. Over his final 11 starts of the year, he posted a 2.44 ERA (2.51 FIP), with a 46.3 percent ground ball rate (41.7% for all of 2023) and 13.21 K/9! He trusted his changeup, throwing it more than ever before, and as the year went on, he continually ramped up the usage on that pitch, resulting in a .224 BAA and 31.2 percent whiff rate. 

2024 Outlook: Peralta is being drafted as top 15 fantasy starter and there's nothing that majorly stands out as unrepeatable from last year's numbers. In fact, if he can maintain his ground ball rate from his final 11 starts, he could get even better. Milwaukee's offense has enough juice to give Peralta ample run support, and 2024 could be even better than 2023 for the right-hander, health willing. Aces aren't cheap in fantasy, and I have him closer to a top 10 starter for this season.
