2023 Fantasy Outlook
Taillon tied his career high with 32 starts while logging 177.1 innings, his second most ever. His strikeout rate dropped, but Taillon compensated with a 4.4% walk rate, its lowest since his rookie season. For the second straight year, a high number of flyballs led to an above average flyball rate, but the low walk rate along with the resultant low BABIP minimized damage. Taillon tweaks his pitch mix every year, reintroducing a cutter to increase his arsenal to six pitches. Taillon's two best offerings are a curve and slider, but he backed off usage of both, perhaps due to being a two-time Tommy John surgery recoveree. Unless Taillon is comfortable reworking his repertoire another year removed from going under the knife in 2019, home runs will remain an issue, although he gets a modest park upgrade after signing a four-year deal with the Cubs. His low strikeout rate is more akin to a fantasy streamer than staff anchor. Read Past Outlooks

Struggles in no-decision
Taillon allowed four runs on six hits across 4.2 innings and didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 8-5 loss to the Reds. He walked one and struck out five.
ANALYSIS
For the fifth straight start, Taillon failed to complete five innings, and he's allowed four earned runs or more in four consecutive outings. On the heels of another poor showing, the righty is now sitting on an 8.04 ERA overall, and while he's been the victim of some bad luck (.378 BABIP, 48.9 percent strand rate), Taillon hasn't helped himself by serving his pitches up on a platter for hitters. According to BaseballSavant.com, Taillon ranks in the 13th percentile among all pitchers in barrel rate allowed (career-worst 11.7 percent, up from 8.3 percent in 2022).

Taillon was a mystery heading into the season. He underwent Tommy John surgery in 2019 and opted out of the truncated campaign, but he was able to rehab at the Pirates alternate site. Pittsburgh dealt Taillon to the Yankees in the offseason, and he broke camp in the rotation. With only 37.1 innings on his ledger since 2019, Taillon compiled 144.1 frames, posting a career high 23.2% K%. Taillon's normal 50% groundball rate dropped to 33%, resulting in a career worst 1.50 HR/9. Even battling gopheritis, Taillon managed a 4.30 ERA, which was encouraging considering the long layoff and league change. Taillon was shelved for three weeks down the stretch with a right ankle tendon injury, requiring surgery after the season. He made a start early in spring training, and it appears he'll be ready by Opening Day. The injury and 2021's bloated ERA presents a buying opportunity as Taillon is likely to revert to his groundball ways, reducing homers.
