2023 Fantasy Outlook
After making 33 starts the previous year, a bout with COVID-19 and a shoulder issue limited Stroman to just 25 starts and 138.2 innings last season. His 14.6% K-BB% was in sync with his past few campaigns. However, for the first time in his career, Stroman yielded more than a homer per nine frames, albeit just a tad at 1.04 HR/9. Stroman performed much worse at home, sporting a 5.18 ERA and 1.32 WHIP at Wrigley Field as compared to 2.06/1.00 away from Waveland Avenue. This is likely just noise, but streaming Stroman at home last season backfired. The catch is Stroman's low 21% strikeout rate is best utilized in a streaming capacity, especially in leagues with an innings or starts limit where the strikeout category is essentially K/9. Stroman's low dominance, heavy groundball approach is usually effective, but he's subject to more variance than most hurlers, adding risk to his role as a ratio stabilizer. Read Past Outlooks

Consistency is oftentimes undervalued in both real life and in sports. The Cubs will pay Stroman $71 million for his services from 2022-24, so you make up your mind in this particular instance. Stroman missed the start of the shortened 2020 campaign with a calf injury and ultimately opted out of playing that season. He returned in 2021 arguably better than ever; his 15.6 K-BB% was a career high and his 1.15 WHIP was his lowest in any season with 100-plus innings. Stroman kept his groundball rate north of 50% (just barely) for the seventh consecutive season, a byproduct of his heavy-sinker approach, and when pitching at Citi Field, the ball almost never got out against the righty (five homers in 78 innings). He has now made 32-plus starts in four of his past five seasons. Stroman is consistent with both workload and performance, and that is not "boring" consistency, but in our game the low strikeout totals make him more staff filler than frontline starter.
