2026 Fantasy Outlook
Lorenzen made a career-high 26 starts last season, though his workload was capped by a career-worst 1.59 HR/9 that often forced early exits, keeping him to 141.2 innings. That total still stood as his second-highest at the major league level. The increased home run damage came despite positive trends elsewhere, as he posted his strongest strikeout rate since 2020 and matched his best walk rate. A fly ball profile has generally played well in Kauffman Stadium, but last year proved an exception. Lorenzen's 14 percent HR/FB rate ranked among the league's worst for qualified starters, and his fly ball rate was the highest in that same group. If the improvements in strikeouts and control hold while the home run rate stabilizes, Lorenzen fits best as a matchup-based streaming option, particularly in environments that limit power.
