Bryan Woo 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Solid Rotation Piece Whose Fantasy Upside Lies In Strikeout Potential
Seattle Mariners starting pitcher Bryan Woo had a solid debut in 2023 and followed that up with a strong sophomore campaign that reinforced his status as a fantasy-worthy rotation piece. The former sixth-round draft pick had a 1:11 BB:K over eight-and-one-third innings during the spring, then carried that strong command into the season, posting a 13:101 BB:K during the regular season. That helped the 24-year-old to a 9-3 record with a superb 2.89 ERA, 0.90 WHIP, and an 18.6% K-BB% (21.4% K%, 2.8% BB%) over 22 starts (121 1/3 IP). While FIP (3.40), xFIP (3.75), and SIERA (3.75) were all higher than ERA, they still point to a pitcher that can be good in 2025 even if there is some regression on that front. The downside is that a K/9 of 7.49 is tough to swallow for fantasy, but with a career 12.68 K/9 and 34.4% K% in the minors, as well as a 9.55 K/9 in his major league debut, there's hope that the third-year big leaguer can reattain higher rates in 2025. The righty is a slight value in early drafts, with a ranking of 131 overall at RotoBaller and a 139 NFBC ADP.
