2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bradley's 2024 season did not begin until Mothers' Day weekend due to a pectoral strain suffered during spring training. His first start back was a dominating one against the Yankees followed up by a solid outing against Boston before two ugly outings around a one-hit effort over five innings against Kansas City. Bradley then went on a nine-start tear where he was arguably the best pitcher in the league, going 5-1 with a 0.82 ERA while holding batters to a .161 average with a 22.3% K-BB%. Bradley appeared to be on a run similar to what Blake Snell did in 2023, but it was not meant to be as Bradley went 2-7 the rest of the season with a 6.51 ERA with a 1.9 HR/9 as batters hit .288 against him over his final 11 starts. Failure is only failure if you do not learn from it, and perhaps the giant dose of humble pie that Bradley was forced to eat down the stretch is something he can grow from and use for 2025. He did close the season winning two of his last three starts while not allowing a home run in any of those outings. Read Past Outlooks
Punches out seven
Bradley allowed three hits and a walk over six shutout frames Friday, striking out seven and earning a win over the Red Sox.
ANALYSIS
Bradley didn't face much of a threat as he rolled through his season finale. He needed only 71 pitches to complete the outing and forced 11 whiffs, including four with his splitter. It was Bradley's second quality start over his last seven appearances, and he finished the year with back-to-back wins. He posted a 2.90 ERA over 68.1 innings before the All-Star break, but his season ERA ended at 4.11 through 25 starts due to some second-half struggles. Bradley posted a 5.30 ERA while going 4-7 over his final 13 starts this season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Much was expected from Bradley heading into the 2023 season, and he delivered on a portion of that. The best thing we could say about Bradley is he struck out 28% of the batters he faced in his rookie season with a 19.6% K-BB%. That is where the fantasy accolades end because his other efforts were hurtful to many fantasy rosters. Bradley struggled with his command and the misses within the strike zone often led to homers as he allowed 32 homers in 142.1 innings of work between Durham and Tampa Bay. Bradley's 2023 season looks a lot like Triston McKenzie's 2021 season, which is what fantasy managers should look at for hope this season. Bradley's curveball and changeup got the job done, but the misses with his fastball and cutter led to 20 of the 23 homers he allowed at the big league level. Kyle Snyder has an outstanding track record of helping pitchers improve their execution and Bradley is quite capable of doing in 2024 whan McKenzie did in 2022.
