Acquired by Baltimore at last year's trade deadline, Soto turned in a poor 5.09 ERA, 1.53 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB over 17.2 regular season innings with the Orioles before covering a scoreless two-thirds of an inning during his lone playoff appearance. While his overall performance has suffered the past few years, the hard-throwing lefty posted above-average Statcast metrics in 2024 with a 31 percent whiff rate (86th percentile), 26.6 percent strikeout rate (76th) and 51.4 percent groundball rate (86th) while averaging 97.5 mph on his fastball (94th). Unfortunately, walks continue to be a major issue for Soto, whose ratios are likely to be a negative for any fantasy team. The 29-year-old has racked up 35 holds and five saves over the past two seasons, but he appears destined to work in middle relief in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
