2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bradford made the Rangers' Opening Day rotation last season only because Michael Lorenzen signed late and needed time to get built up. The lefty held a 1.40 ERA in his first three starts but then missed the next 16 weeks due to a stress fracture in his rib cage. He returned to post a 3.60 ERA and 51:10 K:BB over 55 frames in 10 starts from August on, setting himself up to be a cog in the Texas rotation in 2025. Bradford averaged less than 90 mph with his fastball in 2024, but hitters can't square the pitch up. The offering netted a plus-11 Run Value and .280 xwOBA, and it might only be his second-best pitch behind his changeup. Bradford's strikeout rate is merely adequate, but his pristine control makes him a great WHIP bet and he routinely pitched deep into games in 2024 because he was so efficient. The 27-year-old could prove to be a nice value toward the end of drafts. Read Past Outlooks
