Ryan Pepiot 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: A Breakout Candidate In The Later Rounds
12 mins agoTampa Bay Rays pitcher Ryan Pepiot looked solid in his first full season as a starting pitcher last year. Pepiot finished with a 3.60 ERA and 142 strikeouts across a career-high 130 innings pitched. The right-hander also ranked in the 79th percentile in expected batting average against (.216) and in the 82nd percentile in whiff rate (29.9%). As a result, the 27-year-old pitcher could be a sleeper option in the later rounds of fantasy baseball drafts this season. He started 26 games for the Rays a year ago and gave up two runs or fewer in 18 of those starts. Now, Pepiot could breakout for Tampa Bay in his second full season as a starter. Opposing hitters had just a .181 batting average against his fastball in 2024, and he should be able to build on his 130 innings pitched from last year. RotoBaller has the Rays pitcher ranked 149th in rotisserie leagues and 153rd in points leagues.
