2024 Fantasy Outlook
Wicks made his MLB debut in 2023 and flashed some promise. The 2021 first round pick made a total of seven starts, compiling a 4.41 ERA, 1.27 WHIP and 24 strikeouts across 34.2 innings. He actually had a 3.00 ERA and 1.12 WHIP through his first six starts, but he was tagged for six runs over only 1.2 innings in his final outing of the year. It's not surprising to see young pitchers endure some up and downs, so all in all, it was a promising first taste of the majors. The righty did allow 11 walks in his 34.2 innings, and he issued another 13 free passes in 33 innings with Triple-A Iowa, so he'll need to improve in that area if he wants to take a step forward. Entering his age-24 season, Wicks should have the inside track on a rotation spot to begin the year, likely slotting in behind Justin Steele, Jameson Taillon and Kyle Hendricks. Wicks has the talent and pedigree to be a solid MLB starter, and while fantasy managers may want to wait a bit until he gets rolling, he could find himself on the radar in short order.
