2024 Fantasy Outlook

A well-known breakout prospect in dynasty circles after his dominant run at High-A and Double-A in his debut season, Thorpe became known throughout the baseball world as the secondary piece in San Diego's return from New York in the Juan Soto trade. Thorpe is a sturdy 6-foot-4 righty with a chance for plus-plus command and a plus-plus changeup, but the big question will be how his low-90s fastball plays against big-league hitters. He had a 2.52 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and a 182:38 K:BB in 139.1 innings, 109 of which came at High-A. He was dominant in five Double-A starts, logging a 40 percent strikeout rate and a 4.5 percent walk rate while averaging six innings per start. In many ways, Thorpe is similar to the Padres prospect version of Chris Paddack, as stellar command and a filthy changeup will try to make up for a hittable fastball. However, Thorpe's average slider is a better third pitch than anything Paddack had back then. Perhaps Thorpe could add a tick of velocity at some point, but assuming his velocity remains in the low-90s, he will have a small margin for error in the majors. He could debut this summer.
