2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Matthews struggled in the majors again even though his underlying metrics showed star potential. Matthews has good control (2.2 BB/9 at Triple-A in 2024), strong strikeout rates (11.7 K/9 at Triple-A) and velocity (96.2 average mph fastball in the majors). He began last season at Triple-A where he excelled with a 1.72 ERA and 31.8% K% in 12 starts. It was a different story once called up to the majors in May as he had a 5.56 ERA and 1.49 WHIP. However, he improved his home runs allowed (to 1.63 HR/9 from 2.63 HR/9) and his velocity (up from 94.9 mph) while maintaining above average strikeout (10.0 K/9) and walk rates (2.7 BB/9). He may have been unlucky with a high .357 BABIP as his 3.79 FIP would seem to indicate. He did have a .364 BABIP in the majors in 2024, however. He'll compete for a rotation spot this spring. Given his underlying metrics, he's a pitcher that could put together a surprise season. Read Past Outlooks
