Brant Hurter

26-Year-Old PitcherRP
Detroit Tigers
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hurter made his MLB debut in 2024 and was a bit of a pleasant surprise for the Tigers. The 26-year-old posted a 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 38 strikeouts across 45.1 innings. What made the performance surprising was the fact that Hurter posted a 5.80 ERA and 1.48 WHIP in 71.1 innings for Triple-A Toledo earlier in the year, which also marked his first stop at that level. The unheralded rookie mostly pitched in relief for Detroit, though it was largely in a bulk role, and he also did make one start. Hurter benefited from a .236 BABIP, so some regression could be in store over a longer time period, but his 3.03 FIP suggests that he wasn't overly lucky. Following his successful debut, Hurter could transition into a more typical rotation spot in 2025, depending on how the Tigers approach their pitching staff. Either way, the young southpaw has put himself on the fantasy radar, and he makes for an intriguing upside play. Read Past Outlooks

Picks up win Friday
PDetroit Tigers
September 28, 2024
Hurter (6-1) allowed one run on two hits across four innings of relief to earn the win Friday against the White Sox. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
Hurter followed opener Brenan Hanifee, who completed two scoreless innings, and pitched well to record his sixth win through 10 appearances while punching Detroit's playoff ticket. Hurter has had a nice rookie campaign, posting a stellar 2.58 ERA and 0.88 WHIP across 45.1 innings, often working in bulk relief. It remains to be seen how the Tigers structure their pitching staff for the postseason, but the 26-year-old has likely earned a prominent role based on his strong performance.
