2025 Fantasy Outlook
Eflin's 2024 season failed to live up to his 2023 levels of production, but he was mostly a victim of circumstance. Eflin did hit the IL twice in the season with back and shoulder issues, but both were minimum stays. The larger problem for Eflin was his time with Tampa Bay before being dealt to Baltimore as Eflin was awarded a win in just 5 of his 19 starts as the Rays offense struggled to provide runs while Eflin struggled to prevent them as well as he did in 2023. The trade to Baltimore saw Eflin win 5 of his 9 starts there and paints a better picture of what could be possible for 2025. Eflin remains once of the stingiest pitchers in baseball to give up walks as his walk percentage has remained below 5.0% for four consecutive seasons. He continues his kitchen sink-like approach using six different pitch types against hitters to pepper the strike zone and keep hitters off balance but the seven percentage-point drop in strikeouts from 2023 is concerning as several of his pitches lost their whiffiness. Perhaps that can be written off to his back and shoulder troubles, but it bears watching moving forward. A full season with a potent offense and Lord Walltimore in left field should benefit Eflin rather nicely in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
