Tanner Bibee

Bibee hit some bumps in the road after two successful seasons to begin his major league career in 2023 and 2024. Bibee posted his lowest strikeout rate, lowest K-BB percentage and highest home run rate of his three year career, which were all contributing factors in his ERA jumping three quarters of a run from the previous season. He still managed to win 12 of his 31 starts, but his ratios were higher than expected because of the step back in performance indicators. The same four-seamer and cutter duo that served him well in 2024 were not as helpful in 2025, as that combination of pitches led to 15 home runs, and both saw a decline in whiff rate as well. This was not a velocity issue as much as a command issue because Bibee made mistakes within the zone. His final four starts in September looked more like the old Bibee, as he went 3-0 with a 20.6 K-BB percentage as he scattered four runs over those four outings. He may have burned you last year, but you can always forgive him this season, and it will not cost you as much to roster him. Read Past Outlooks
