Kyle Muller 2023 Fantasy Outlook: Promising Lefty Prospect With More Opportunity
2 years agoLeft-hander Kyle Muller finds himself in the Oakland Athletics organization in 2023 after spending his first two major-league seasons with the Atlanta Braves, the team that selected him in the second round in 2016. He was part of the three-team trade last December that sent catcher Sean Murphy to Atlanta. Muller was one of the Braves' top pitching prospects. He made his MLB debut in 2021 and has a 5.14 ERA (4.05 FIP), 1.37 WHIP and 22.9 percent strikeout rate in his first 49 big-league innings in 12 outings (11 starts). The 6-foot-7 southpaw has plenty of upside to become a full-time MLB starter, and he now has a much better path to a full-time role with the A's. In Triple-A in 2022, Muller improved his strikeout rate and dropped his walk rate while being dominant at times. There are certainly questions about the 25-year-old's control, but he'll be a fine target in deep-mixed and AL-only leagues.
