2025 Player Outlook
While his strikeout rate didn’t carry over from 2023, Abbott was largely the same pitcher, posting a 3.72 ERA (5.04 FIP) and 1.30 WHIP. He allowed a good bit of hard contact last season, and his fly ball profile makes him vulnerable to home runs, especially in his home park. His stuff doesn’t jump off the page, and he doesn’t get a ton of swings out of the zone, and to be frank, a rough seven starts at the end of the year (5.66 ERA) ballooned some of his numbers. For what it’s worth, he had a 3.06 ERA in the 18 starts prior and allowed more than three earned runs in just two of those 18, compared to 4 or more earned runs in four of his last seven. We’d love to see an increased strikeout rate, which is certainly possible, but if he can keep the ball in the park, an ERA in the low-4s and a new career high in wins is on the table for Abbott in 2025. I like the value and upside at his ADP.
Player News
Andrew Abbott struck out 11 and allowing only one run and two hits over six innings in the Reds’ 8-3 win over the Orioles on Friday.
Stellar. It’s Abbott’s fourth career 10-strikeout game, and he was one off his high of 12 from a start against the Padres last July. He allowed only one hard-hit ball tonight, that being a lineout from Adley Rutschman. The homer he surrendered to Cedric Mullins was 93.3 mph off the bat and traveled 345 feet down the right field line. Abbott has excelled in both starts since returning from shoulder surgery, even though his velocity is down 1-1.5 mph from last year. Give much of the credit to his changeup, which he’s using more frequently and more effectively than ever before. In spite of his success, he still seems like a weak play next week at Coors Field.
Andrew Abbott yielded one run over five innings on Saturday in a win over the Pirates.
Reds reinstated LHP Andrew Abbott off the 15-day injured list.
Abbott, 25, will be making the start Saturday against the Pirates on Saturday after missing the beginning of the 2025 season recovering from his shoulder operation in 2024. The southpaw offers some fantasy upside, and is worth a look as a streamer against a not-so-great Pittsburgh lineup.
Andrew Abbott (shoulder) threw 5 2/3 innings while allowing two runs for Triple-A Louisville on Tuesday.
Abbott struck out four and walked two. Both runs came on solo homers for the 25-year-old in an otherwise successful start. Abbott likely will make one more rehab start Sunday, and then should return to the Reds’ rotation late next week.
