2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gore set new bests with 32 starts and 166.1 innings. His strikeout and walk rates were like the previous season but he did a much better job keeping the ball in the yard. Unfortunately, a .340 BABIP and 68.1 percent left-on-base mark sabotaged his effort, especially WHIP where his 1.42 mark was third worst among qualified pitchers. An inordinately high line-drive rate bloated his BABIP, so Gore should enjoy some regression in that area this season. Gore didn't alter his pitch mix or location much, but he added a tick to his fastball and slider while taking something off his curve and changeup, which helped keep hitters off balance. Gore has established durability, now he needs to fine-tune his control to become more than a fantasy streaming option. Entering his 26-year-old season, it's worth taking the chance he can achieve it.

Fans eight in six shutout innings
Gore didn't factor into the decision Thursday against the Mariners after allowing four hits and no walks in six scoreless innings. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
It was Gore's first scoreless start since his first appearance of the season, and he racked up an impressive 18 whiffs. The left-hander has fanned at least eight in six of his last eight outings, during which he boasts a 2.98 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 69:15 K:BB covering 45.1 innings, and he's worked fewer than five frames on a lone occasion in 2025. Gore has offered a fairly safe fantasy floor in most instances this year, but he's in for a tough test versus the Cubs in his next scheduled start.

Part of the Nationals' return from the Padres for Juan Soto in August of 2022, Gore is coming off a good-not-great first full MLB season. Well, it wasn't actually a completely full season because the Nats shut him down in early September due to a blister on his left index finger. That's a non-issue now, though, and the young southpaw will be looking to build this year on the things he did best in 2023. One of the hardest-throwing lefties in the sport, Gore used his fastball and power slider to strike out 151 batters over 136.1 innings, delivering a 26.0 strikeout percentage that ranked top-20 among the 87 big-league pitchers who logged more than 130 innings last year. If he can rein in his command and find more trust in the other elements of his five-pitch arsenal, the groundwork will be laid for Gore to quickly rise up the ranks of dependable fantasy starters. At the moment, the dependability is still a bit in question.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

On pace for 295 strikeouts
Gore is on pace to record 295 strikeouts this season, according to Jared Greenspan of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
If Gore stays healthy and continues to pitch at the level he's done it in his first 11 starts this season, he should flirt with a 300-strikeout season. Only 19 pitchers in the modern era have reached this feat, and the last southpaw to do so was Chris Sale in 2017. Gore owns a 36.3 percent strikeout this season and has punched out 93 in 62.1 innings, good for an elite 13.4 K/9.
