2026 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat enters 2026 likely to be rotation depth with a chance to pitch in a multi-inning relief role in the majors or stay stretched out in the Triple-A rotation. The 25-year-old righty took a while to master Triple-A, as he had a 7.53 ERA in seven starts there in 2024 and a 6.29 ERA and 43:33 K:BB in his first 63 innings at Triple-A in 2025. Things flipped in late-June, as he logged a 2.44 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 70:21 K:BB in 59 innings over his next 11 starts before getting a September call-up. Sproat has a deep repertoire, and figuring out the right sequencing took some time at Triple-A. He now leans on his mid-90s sinker, plus sweeper, plus changeup and above-average curveball. The 6-foot-3, 215-pound hurler built up to 141.2 innings last year and he'll certainly remain on the starting path long term, even if there isn't room for him in the Opening Day rotation. Being traded to the Brewers improves Sproat's immediate outlook slightly since the back end of their rotation isn't fully settled, but Milwaukee's strong starting depth means there's still a decent chance he begins 2026 at Triple-A. His struggles early in 2025 at Triple-A and inflated 4.79 ERA in the majors (2.80 FIP, 3.84 xFIP) create a nice buy-low window this offseason. Read Past Outlooks

Hamstring
June 17, 2026
Manager Pat Murphy said after Wednesday's win over Cleveland that Sproat's hamstring cramps are minor and won't impact his next scheduled start, Adam McCalvy of MLB.com reports.
Analysis
Sproat's hamstring began to give him trouble during the fourth inning of Wednesday's contest, forcing him out of the game after he'd given up four earned runs in 3.2 innings. He won't have to worry about missing any additional starts, however, which puts him on track to take the mound next week on the road against the Reds.

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Sproat dominated High-A and Double-A hitters before hitting a wall at Triple-A in his first pro season after not pitching in 2023 after getting selected in the second round. He is known for his age (spent four years at Florida, turns 25 in September) fastball velocity (96.3 mph average in 2024, topped out at 101.5 mph) and plus changeup, although his fastball plays below its velocity due to mediocre shape. The 6-foot-3 righty also boasts an above-average sweeper and seldom-used curveball. His command/control is fringy, so he profiles as a high-strikeout starter who could be a WHIP liability early in his career. Sproat's K-BB% dipped from 26.7 percent at Double-A to 7.8 percent at Triple-A, while his WHIP spiked from 0.87 to 1.64. The 116.1 innings he threw last year were the most he'd ever thrown in a season, so it's possible he just wore down late in the season, and that explains his struggles at Triple-A. However, the caliber of hitter at Triple-A vs. the majors is night and day, so the fact we haven't seen Sproat master Triple-A yet is still a valid concern with regards to drafting him for 2025.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Battling for rotation spot
PMilwaukee Brewers
March 6, 2026
Sproat is in the mix to earn a rotation spot with the Brewers ahead of the 2026 regular season, according to Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
Analysis
The Brewers have some arms locked into rotation roles for the start of the 2026 season, but Sproat isn't one of them, and he'll have to battle in spring training for a chance to crack the rotation before the start of the 2026 regular season. Sproat made four starts for the Mets in the 2025 regular season and posted a 4.79 ERA across 20.2 innings.
