2026 Fantasy Outlook
Bibee hit some bumps in the road after two successful seasons to begin his major league career in 2023 and 2024. Bibee posted his lowest strikeout rate, lowest K-BB percentage and highest home run rate of his three year career, which were all contributing factors in his ERA jumping three quarters of a run from the previous season. He still managed to win 12 of his 31 starts, but his ratios were higher than expected because of the step back in performance indicators. The same four-seamer and cutter duo that served him well in 2024 were not as helpful in 2025, as that combination of pitches led to 15 home runs, and both saw a decline in whiff rate as well. This was not a velocity issue as much as a command issue because Bibee made mistakes within the zone. His final four starts in September looked more like the old Bibee, as he went 3-0 with a 20.6 K-BB percentage as he scattered four runs over those four outings. He may have burned you last year, but you can always forgive him this season, and it will not cost you as much to roster him. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a five-year, $48 million contract extension with the Guardians in March of 2025. Contract includes a $21 million club option for 2030.
Resumes throwing, may start Tuesday
Bibee (shoulder) said that he felt good after completing a 26-pitch bullpen session Saturday, but the Guardians have yet to decide if he'll be ready to go for his next turn through the rotation Tuesday versus the Dodgers in Los Angeles, Paul Hoynes of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis
Bibee started Thursday's season-opening 6-4 win over the Mariners, going five innings and striking out seven while allowing three earned runs on four hits and two walks in a no-decision. He was on track to remain in the game for the bottom of the sixth inning, but after throwing his final warmup pitch, Bibee motioned to the dugout and was removed from the contest after an evaluation from a trainer. He was later diagnosed with right shoulder inflammation, but the Guardians are optimistic that the injury is minor, and Bibee's ability to complete a weighted-ball workout Friday and throw a bullpen session Saturday seemingly supports that notion. Bibee noted that the Guardians will wait and see how he's feeling Sunday before deciding on his status for Tuesday's contest.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2025
2024
2023
Cleveland has a track record of developing pitchers and getting the most out of them, and Bibee looked to be on that path heading into 2024. The final numbers were good, as he improved his strikeout rate along with being one of just 14 pitchers (min 150 IP) with a K-BB percentage greater than 20. He also allowed two or fewer earned runs in 20 of his 31 starts. Yet, it is tough to overlook just how hittable his fastball was in 2024, as the league hit .282 off the pitch (.288 xBA) while hitting .235 or lower off the rest of his offerings. That blueprint makes it possible for teams to have success against him when they are disciplined enough with their approach. Bibee also allowed four or more earned runs eight different times in 2024, including four times against division foes, and half the homers came off that aforementioned fastball. Bibee will carry a price tag tax of "staff ace" with his results to date and expected growth in his third full season at the big league level, but in order for that path to become actualized, Bibee needs his fastball to step up to the plate in a big way in 2025.
