2023 Fantasy Outlook
Manoah had a fantastic sophomore season embracing the role of staff ace and performing like one for those fantasy managers who took the leap of faith with the big guy. The strikeout rate was not as strong as hoped, but he cut down on his walks and was once again one of the toughest pitchers in the league to hit. The slider was once again his bread and butter pitch, but he can still overpower hitters with the fastball and the changeup took a very nice step forward in 2022 becoming more of a weapon against lefties than it was in his rookie season gaining some whiffiness along the way. He has never had a season at any level where he has worked anywhere near the volume he worked in 2022, but his physique could insulate him from the regression we have seen from other younger arms who have gone through similar workload spikes in their mid 20s. Quite honestly, that is the only risk here because all the arrows point in a positive direction for him this coming season. Read Past Outlooks

Sharp in final spring start
Manoah allowed one run on three hits and two walks over six-plus innings while striking out six in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Phillies.
ANALYSIS
Facing a Philly lineup lacking its biggest names, Manoah tossed 80 pitches (53 strikes) and cruised through six scoreless frames before watching a runner he left behind cross the plate in the seventh. The right-hander will look to build on a 2022 campaign that saw him post an outstanding 2.24 ERA and 0.99 WHIP in 196.2 innings. He's set for an Opening Day assignment against the Cardinals.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
Lance Lynn's physique doppleganger had an excellent rookie season, helping Toronto stay in the postseason race until the season's final day. His size and deception were tough for the league to pick up as he had greater than 30% Whiff rates on both his four-seamer and slider last season while the league hit .200 or worse against both offerings. The slider was particularly filthy with its ability to head toward home plate and seemingly change lanes like tourists driving on the interstate near Disney World out of nowhere. A slip on the dugout stairs leading to the IL and a five-game suspension for intentionally hitting Maikel Franco were the only blemishes on an otherwise stellar rookie resume. The next challenge for him is going to be working on the changeup to keep lefties at bay as lefty-laden lineups were more of a challenge while righties often walked back to the dugout in frustration.
