2025 Fantasy Outlook

King came into the 2024 season as an uncertainty, but finished it as a star. King was part of the Juan Soto deal and had been a valuable Swiss Army knife for the Yankees as they had used him as an opener, a closer, and in all situations between as he worked 104.2 innings over 49 games. The question about King was how he would hold up as a full-time starting pitcher, something, he had never done at the big league level. In fact, the last time King started even 10 games in any season was in Double-A in the 2018 season. King silenced the critics and then some as he finished the season as the 16th-best starting pitcher in the final fantasy rankings and did well in the postseason too. King adjusted his repertoire by dialing back on the sweeper, adding a slider, and ramping up his changeup. His 19% K-BB% and .221 opponents batting average were in the top 20 for all starters with at least 150 innings of work. The big question now is how will King's body bounced back after a season in which his overall pitch count jumped 79% from the previous season. Read Past Outlooks
