2023 Fantasy Outlook
Burnes followed up his NL Cy Young season in impressive fashion. While he didn't bring home the hardware in the National League again, the right-hander was right up there among the best pitchers in the game no matter how you slice it. At 27 years old, Burnes fanned 243 batters -- second in baseball behind only Gerrit Cole -- and surpassed 200 innings for the first time, adding 35 frames to his 2021 total. There is little to nitpick in the underlying numbers, though Burnes hit some bumps in the road in the second half, with his ERA finishing at 3.97 after the All-Star break. A corresponding dip in his strikeout rate after the break (to 27.9 percent) perhaps gives reason for pause heading into 2023, but the overall body of work was stellar. Burnes should still be treated as one of MLB's elite aces, even if he won't get to pick on the NL Central quite as much with the balanced schedule. Read Past Outlooks

Settles down after shaky first
Burnes did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on four hits and three walks over seven innings during a 3-1 loss to the Giants. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Despite allowing a first-inning run, Burnes still completed seven frames, his most since pitching an eight-inning shutout against Arizona on April 11. The 2021 NL Cy Young Award winner allowed 10 earned runs over his first two starts of 2023, but he's been better since then, posting a 2.65 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 53:19 K:BB over his last nine appearances (54.1 innings). The right-hander will look to maintain his strong play next time out, which is tentatively scheduled for the opener of a four-game set in Cincinnati.

Once a top prospect, Burnes reached full bloom in 2021, going 11-5 with 234 strikeouts and only seven homers allowed in 167 innings for the Brewers en route to winning the NL Cy Young Award. His 30.4 K-BB% was best among qualified pitchers -- nearly seven strikeouts for every walk he issued. The breakout can be easily traced back to 2020 when Burnes added a cut fastball and changeup to his arsenal while dialing back his straight fastball and slider. That repertoire shakeup was in response to a big step backward on the field in 2019 when Burnes allowed 17 homers in just 49 innings at the big-league level. He spent some time on the IL early on in 2021 following a positive COVID test and later dealt with a minor knee problem, but this version of Burnes we've seen the past two seasons is elite and worthy of late-first/early-second round consideration in fantasy leagues.
