Colton Gordon is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for Week 10 (2025). Target Colton Gordon as a top prospect free-agent add for fantasy baseball.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ team leagues
ROSTERED IN: 5% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The underlying stats support that Colton Gordon should be a pretty good pitcher for Houston. While the strikeout rate so far is about average, Gordon doesn't walk batters (3.4%) and has a 31.1% whiff percentage. His biggest issue thus far is the home run; he has surrendered four in four career starts.
His ERA, while bloated at 5.95, is expected to be 2.65. Gordon is using the sweeper more in his last two starts to offset his mediocre fastball. Gordon mixes in a sinker, curveball, and changeup into the mix as well.
In the minor leagues, he had a reputation for throwing strikes and mixing pitches. The lefty should get some runway in Houston due to rotation injuries.
Given his stable role in the rotation for the time being, fantasy managers in deeper formats should consider taking a flier on Gordon.
