Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Alcantara reached the pinnacle in 2022, winning the National League Cy Young Award while literally lapping the field with six complete games. He continued to pump the four-seam and sinker in at 97-98 mph, though it was the changeup that he threw more than any other pitch last season (34.4 Whiff%). Technically his strikeout rate was only a little above average, but when you subtract walks (K-BB%), he ranked top 20 among qualifiers. Alcantara led baseball by a sizable margin with his 228.2 innings during the regular season and he's the only pitcher in the game to clear the 200-inning threshold each of the past two seasons. A certain portion of the fantasy community will fade Alcantara on principle alone coming off a career year, and it's not crazy to be reluctant about paying the new sticker price in drafts, but Alcantara has to be considered among the safest pitchers on the board from a workload standpoint.

Walks five in no-decision
Alcantara did not factor into the decision Tuesday, allowing four runs on five hits and five walks over 6.1 innings against the Padres. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Alcantara's command eluded him again Tuesday, as he's now issued 13 walks over his last four starts (25.2 innings). It's been a tough year overall for Alcantara following his Cy Young-winning campaign. He's 2-5 with a 4.93 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 60:25 K:BB through 11 starts (69.1 innings) this season. Alcantara currently lines up for a friendlier matchup with the A's on Sunday, where he'll look to get his season on track.

Todd Zola toes the rubber with his Weekly Pitcher Rankings for fantasy baseball, starting with Toronto's Kevin Gausman taking the mound twice at home against a pair of tough opponents.

Todd Zola poses a series of questions regarding rest-of-season pitching expectations and finds that Joe Ryan has earned a great deal of trust.

Todd Zola toes the rubber for the weekly pitcher rankings, including a two-start week for reigning NL Cy Young Award-winner Sandy Alcantara.

Todd Zola checks in on whether this year's game is indeed as crispy as advertised and shares his thoughts from Wednesday's games, which included another blast from Jorge Soler.

While we didn't see that sizable jump in strikeout rate that some were holding out hope for (24.0 K%), Alcantara still paid dividends for fantasy managers in 2021. Alcantara's 205.1 innings ranked fourth in MLB, and he rode his heavy sinker-slider approach to a 53.3 GB%. He was stingier with the free passes than ever (6.0 BB%), leading to a 1.07 WHIP, and while some giveback should be expected in that regard, everything else sets up well for another stellar season in Miami. He added even more velocity to his heaters in 2021 -- the right-hander averaged 97-98 mph with his fastball variations -- and his aforementioned slider was a much more successful offering overall. Alcantara's changeup had a whiff rate north of 30%, per Statcast, and further improvement with that pitch could help Alcantara unlock another level. The best may be yet come for the 26-year-old.
