2025 Fantasy Outlook
Criswell did a little bit of everything for the Boston pitching staff in 2024. He worked out of the pen as well as in the rotation as injuries impacted the rotation. Peak Criswell was him throwing seven shutout innings at Coors Field near the end of July, which was one of the five starts in which he earned a win out of his 18 starts. The flip side was his effort against Baltimore, as he faced them twice and allowed 13 earned runs in 7.1 innings of work, which did a number on his overall ratios. Criswell has enough stuff to succeed at the big-league level but not enough stuff to be a set-it-and-forget-it type pitcher for fantasy managers. The righty had his issues against fellow righties last season (.283/.335/.476), but his cutter/changeup approach to lefties helped him hold that group to a .263/.332/.366 line on the season. Criswell is currently slated to compete for a final spot in the Boston rotation, but could go to the bullpen or to Triple-A to begin the season as well. His ceiling is a streaming option, particularly against lefty-heavy lineups. Read Past Outlooks
