Will Warren is a fantasy baseball trade target for Week 9 (2025). Is Will Warren a fantasy baseball buy or sell? Read the trade analysis and advice.
BALLER MOVE: Sell Will Warren
ANALYSIS: It really is impressive what New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren has done on the mound in recent weeks. He tossed seven 1/3 innings of one-run ball with seven strikeouts against the Athletics on May 9, threw five innings of two-run ball with nine strikeouts against the Mariners on May 14, and five 2/3 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts against the Rangers on Tuesday, May 20.
During this three-game stretch, Warren has allowed just three earned runs while striking out a whopping 26 batters. However, this is a fantastic opportunity to sell the right-hander.
In his most recent outing on May 25, Warren saw his start cut short by the weather but was still productive, as he tossed four innings of two-run ball against the Rockies. He struck out seven and served up two walks.
He has two tougher matchups on the way, the Dodgers and the Red Sox, and his metrics suggest that he could be hit harder in these outings. Warren ranks in the 25th percentile or worse in chase rate (24.6%), average exit velocity (91.9 mph), hard-hit rate (50%), and barrel rate (10.7%) in the early going.
Will Warren was dominant today as he struck out 10 over 5.2 scoreless innings. His Arsenal graded out tremendously with his fastball and sweeper being nearly untouchable.
While his 4.05 ERA doesn’t look great, his 2.86 FIP paints the picture of a future stud! pic.twitter.com/3bESVT4iRF

While there is potential for Warren to be a consistent fantasy option, selling him high might be the best move. Only two of his pitches (four-seam fastball and changeup) have limited hitters to under a .210 batting average this season, and he could have less success on his changeup in the coming weeks. Opposing hitters have an expected .318 batting average against the pitch this season.
