BALLER MOVE: Stash in Deeper Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 19% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Drew Thorpe continues to impress, showcasing his potential as a valuable fantasy asset. The 23-year-old right-hander delivered a strong outing in the White Sox’s 5-3 victory over the Rockies, allowing just two runs on two hits and one walk over six innings while striking out four. Thorpe’s command and pitch mix were on point, retiring 16 consecutive batters after a leadoff single.
Thorpe’s season stats may not fully reflect his recent surge, but his underlying metrics suggest a pitcher finding his groove. Despite a modest 4.43 ERA and 1.23 WHIP over his first four career starts, his ability to limit baserunners and avoid hard contact is promising. His recent performances, including six scoreless innings against Detroit, indicate he is settling into a more reliable rhythm.
MLB's No. 53 prospect Drew Thorpe spun a💎 in his @whitesox home debut.

Thorpe’s potential for quality starts and effective command make him a compelling streaming option for fantasy managers in deeper leagues. While his strikeout rate remains modest at 5.8 K/9, his consistency and ability to navigate lineups should not be overlooked.
Thorpe is poised to continue his upward trajectory with his next start slated against the Guardians in Cleveland, offering both stability and upside for those willing to invest in his development.
