Spencer Schwellenbach Could Be A Quality Number Two Starter In 2025
1 day agoSpencer Schwellenbach ended up being a godsend for the Atlanta Braves in 2024. The rookie claimed a rotation spot in late May and never looked back, making 21 starts and winning eight games with a 3.35 ERA, a 1.04 WHIP, and 127 strikeouts in 123 innings. While his strikeout rate was a rather pedestrian 25.4%, his 34.2% chase percentage was in the 96th percentile in all major league baseball. His 4.6% walk rate was in the 95th percentile. Schwellenbach looks like a pitcher who can start 30 games, get decent win totals, help you in the ratio categories, and earn about a strikeout per inning. His current ADP of 99 means he is going in the middle of the seventh round, making him the 39th pitcher off the board. Schwellenbach could easily outperform his ADP and be a terrific number-two starter on many fantasy rosters this spring. He is currently slated as the number two starter in Atlanta behind Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale.
