2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bigge was dominant at the Triple-A level in 2024, posting a 2.25 ERA, 0.85 WHIP and 36:9 K:BB over 20 innings. With eight saves between the Cubs and Rays affiliates, he brought his total to 21 over his minor-league career. The 26-year-old righty's success in high-leverage earned him looks in the Chicago and Tampa Bay bullpens, respectively, earning one save and two holds across 19 appearances in the majors. Bigge primarily features an upper-90's fastball (59 percent pitch usage) and effective slider (30 percent) that produced a 52 percent whiff rate that was among the best in the league for that pitch type. He also mixes in an occasional curve to left-handed hitters and sweeper, so it will be interesting to see how he mixes his pitches over a full season. After an impressive September with the Rays last year (15:1 K:BB over nine innings), Bigge is a favorite to break camp with the club in 2025. Save chances are possible as the season progresses.

Summoned to majors
The Rays recalled Bigge from Triple-A Durham on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bigge was optioned to Triple-A last week, but a spot on the Opening Day roster opened back up for him after the Rays placed Shane McClanahan (triceps) on the 15-day injured list. McClanahan's injury clears room in the rotation for Drew Rasmussen, while Bigge will fill the final opening in the Tampa Bay bullpen. Bigge impressed in his first taste of the big leagues in 2024 with a 2.60 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24:5 K:BB across 17.1 innings between stops with the Cubs and Rays, but he may have to settle for low-leverage relief work to begin the upcoming season.
