Brady Singer

While it was still his most-used pitch, Singer dropped his sinker usage quite a bit in 2024 down to 41.3 percent. It was the first time he's ever used it less than 50 percent of the time in a season, and it proved more effective with a career-high plus-13 Run Value. It was a nice bounce-back season on the whole for Singer, although an xERA of 4.65 was nearly a run worse than his actual ERA. He also had major platoon splits, holding righties to a .563 OPS but getting pummeled by lefties to the tune of an .855 OPS. Now 28, it's fair to wonder whether Singer will ever develop a viable third pitch. Without one, he's probably reached his ceiling, which is that of a perfectly solid but low-upside fantasy starter. Singer's margin for error shrunk after he landed in Great American Ball Park in an offseason trade, although being a ground ball pitcher could help mitigate that potential disaster. Read Past Outlooks
