2026 Fantasy Outlook
We know an organization, or a fantasy team, can never have too much pitching. That said, any of the non Fab-Five pitchers in Seattle are tough to forecast for fantasy purposes because the Seattle rotation is as set in stone as any rotation could be this winter. Hancock and Logan Evans are competing for the Alert 5 spot in Tacoma should something happen to one of the others. Hancock is practicing for the role by preparing to come to camp as a starting pitcher this spring after working in a swingman role this past season. The workload should not be a problem, as Hancock has worked 98, 155 and 134.2 innings respectively each of the past three seasons, but Hancock's stuff may not play up as well with extra exposure at the big league level. Stuff+ likes his slider but considers all his other offerings below average. Hancock is more of a draft-and-hold target, because there is no doubt he will be pitching major league innings at some point in 2026, but when and where remains to be seen. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Mariners in March of 2026.
Flirts with perfection in win
Hancock (1-0) earned the win Sunday against the Guardians, allowing no runs on no hits and one walk in six innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis
Hancock is taking Bryce Miller's (oblique) place in Seattle's starting rotation for the time being, and the former filled in admirably during his first turn through the rotation. Hancock set a career high in strikeouts Sunday, completely silencing the Cleveland bats in the hit column. The right-hander should be able to remain a starter for the Mariners for at least the next few weeks, and he figures to be a popular fantasy pickup ahead of his next scheduled start against the division-rival Angels.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2021
Hancock was the Mariners' "sixth starter" last season, mostly filling in for Bryan Woo from time to time when Woo's elbow acted up. He wound up making 12 starts and was thoroughly underwhelming with a 4.75 ERA (5.69 FIP) and lowly 14.7 percent strikeout rate. Control is a strong suit for Hancock, but if you're going to be so feeble at missing bats you'd better generate lots of ground balls and/or soft contact and the right-hander does neither of those things. Hancock has the pedigree of a No. 6 overall pick and former top-100 prospect, but he's never really looked like anything more than a potential back-end starter and his performance thus far at the big-league level suggests he might not even reach that level.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Name dropped in Ohtani rumors
Emerson could be a prospect on the move if Seattle emerges as a suitor for Shohei Ohtani at the deadline, writes Jim Bowden of The Athletic.
Analysis
Hancock was the sixth overall selection in the 2020 Draft and currently resides in Double-A. The 6-foot-4, 24-year-old owns a 4.19 ERA across 41 starts with the affiliate over the past two seasons but carries pedigree and upside that could intrigue the Angels.
