2023 Fantasy Outlook
Staumont got the Royals first two saves of 2022, but he only finished with three all season as control woes and injuries quickly put an end to a promising looking start. While the right-hander's 96 mph fastball was excellent, his secondary offerings were crushed, as opposing batters teed off on his curveball and sinker. After improving his control in 2021, his walk rate jumped 6.3 percentage points last season to 16.5%, which would have been one of the worst rates among relievers if he pitched enough innings to qualify. It doesn't help that his first-pitch strike percentage (54%) keeps trending in the wrong direction. A neck strain and biceps tendinitis required two separate trips to the IL and limited Staumont to just 37.2 innings. There's some upside here, especially if Staumont gets his curve back on track, but are you willing to bet on someone with a career 1.37 WHIP? Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Serving as Monday's opener
Staumont will serve as the opener during Monday's series opener in St. Louis, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Staumont struggled in Friday's appearance against the Nationals, allowing four runs on three hits and two walks while striking out one in one inning. He's served exclusively as a reliever in the majors but will begin Monday's game on the mound, while Mike Mayers expects to serve as the primary pitcher.

2017
Staumont had his most successful season to date, going 4-3 with five saves and 16 holds for Kansas City over a career-high 64 appearances. The right-hander finished with a 2.88 ERA (3.89 xERA) and career-best 1.07 WHIP over 65.2 innings. Staumont's control woes persisted, but his 10.2% walk rate was his best yet and a huge improvement over last year's 14.3% clip. He was far less hittable (5.9 H/9) than years past, but continued to give up plenty of hard contact when batters did connect. Ultimately, Staumont ran hot and cold throughout the season, opening 2021 with a 0.68 ERA in April before struggling for a two-month stretch (5.09 ERA) prior to the All-Star break. He finished the year strong, however, recording a 1.93 ERA over the final three months. Royals manager Mike Matheny likes to be fluid with his bullpen usage, so Staumont should continue to receive a mix of saves and holds in his high-leverage role.
