2023 Fantasy Outlook
For the first time in his career, Gallen avoided the injury bug, logging 31 starts and 184 innings. He recorded a career best 20.3% K-BB% mark, mostly due to a personal best 6.6% walk rate. Gallen's ratios benefited from a .237 BABIP as well as a 9.1% HR/FB mark. However, even if his 2.54 ERA was achieved with a boost from Lady Luck, Gallen's 3.05 FIP, 3.32 xFIP and 3.32 SIERA are all still excellent, softening the landing when the regression monster rears its ugly head. Gallen's pitch mix didn't change, but he threw his four-seam fastball, slider and curveball a little harder, increasing effectiveness so strikeouts should tick up with continued health. Gallen isn't off the injury concern hook but coming off a healthy season merits fantasy anchor consideration. There is a stigma about drafting pitchers from second-division teams, but the Diamondbacks offense is on the upswing, so wins are on the table. Read Past Outlooks
