Kyle Hart

32-Year-Old PitcherSP
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart last appeared in the majors in 2020, appearing four times (three starts) for Boston in the pandemic season. He spent last season with the NC Dinos in the KBO, compiling 157 innings over 26 starts. He posted an encouraging 2.69 ERA and 1.032 WHIP, with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.0 percent walk rate. To put things in perspective, the quality of play in the KBO is considered a tad below Double-A, so a 31-year-old hurler should dominate at the level. That said, Erick Fedde parlayed his year in the KBO into a successful return to MLB, though Fedde was better than Hart during their tenure in the majors. Someone will likely take a chance on Hart, at which point he's someone to track. Until then, he's not worth a roster spot, even in deep draft and hold formats. Read Past Outlooks

ADP
$Signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Padres in February of 2025. Contract includes $5 million team option ($500,000 buyout) for 2026. Contract includes salary escalators of up to $2.5 million for 2026 based on games started.
Wins final rotation spot
PSan Diego Padres
March 24, 2025
Hart will open the 2025 season as the fifth starter for the Padres, Kevin Acee of The San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hart didn't perform well in his final start of the spring, surrendering six runs over 4.2 innings of work, but he did enough to win a rotation spot over Stephen Kolek. Kolek was optioned to Triple-A El Paso, meaning Randy Vasquez will take over the No. 4 spot and Hart will round out the rotation. He'll tentatively be scheduled to make his regular-season debut March 31 against the Guardians.
