2025 Player Outlook

Fantasy managers were hoping for ace-like numbers in 2024, and most should have been happy with Ragans last season. He was one of 13 qualified starters to pitch at least 185 IP last season, and he posted an 11-9 record with a 3.14 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and the fifth most strikeouts in baseball (223). At the end of the day, Ragans was one of just five starters with a sub-3.20 ERA and 200+ strikeouts. Expect a bunch more strikeouts again in 2025, as Ragans has back-to-back seasons with an 83rd percentile or better whiff rate. The Kansas City southpaw is capable of headlining your fantasy rotation and should win 12-15 games with an ERA in the lower threes, a 1.20-ish WHIP, and 200+ strikeouts.
