2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Meyer will miss the entire 2023 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in August of 2022. Fortunately for him, he got to the majors and onto the 40-man roster before suffering the injury, but he only pitched six innings in the big leagues. Meyer leaned heavily on his plus-plus 89-mph slider and also threw his mid-90s four-seamer 40 percent of the time. His above-average changeup rounds out a full starter's pitch mix. The six-foot righty has generally thrown enough strikes to comfortably project as a starter, but he has not yet proved he can handle a starter's workload. Meyer threw 111 innings in 2021 and was limited to 67 innings in 2022 due to the injury. He will be 20 months removed from the procedure when spring training 2024 rolls around, and it's possible Meyer comes back as good or better than ever, although roughly 20% of pitchers fail to return to pre-TJS heights.

ANALYSIS

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Meyer was excellent in his pro debut, logging a 2.27 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 130:42 K:BB in 111 innings, with 20 starts coming at Double-A and two starts at Triple-A. His groundball rate was around 50% and his strikeout rate improved as the season went on -- he struck out 72 batters in 51 innings over his final 10 starts. His low-to-mid-90s fastball and diving slider remain plus pitches, but he didn't take any steps forward with his third-pitch changeup, which is mildly disappointing. His command/control remain solid, but not much better than when he was drafted third overall in 2020. It's kind of a conundrum with Meyer, because he performed very well statistically while getting thrown in the deep end for his pro debut, but the scouting reports are slightly less glowing than they were a year ago. If he can put in some work this offseason and in spring training to make minor improvements across the board, Meyer could take a step forward as a potential No. 2 starter, but as things stand, he's got the command and wipeout slider to perform as a mid-rotation arm in a year or two.
