Tanner Bibee

24-Year-Old PitcherSP
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick out of Cal State Fullerton in 2021 who signed for just under $260K, Bibee went from unranked and unheralded to one of the top-30 pitching prospects in the minors after a breakout 2022 season. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound righty registered a 31.6 K-BB% at High-A and a 23.5 K-BB% at Double-A while building up to 132.2 innings. He has a complete four-pitch mix, headlined by a mid-90s fastball and a mid-80s slider. Bibee is a flyball pitcher and he probably got lucky with a 4.8% HR/FB in 73.2 innings at Double-A, but he limited the free passes at both stops. The Guardians' rotation is pretty crowded, and Bibee is unlikely to be as dominant going forward as he was in 2022, so it's not a bad idea to explore his trade value this offseason if you were fortunate enough to add him in-season.

PCleveland Guardians
June 2, 2023
Bibee tossed five innings against Minnesota on Thursday, allowing three runs on six hits and one walk while striking out six batters over five innings. He didn't factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bibee's three-game quality-start streak came to an end, but he fared relatively well. The rookie right-hander began the outing with three scoreless innings before Minnesota tagged him for three runs across the fourth and fifth, resulting in his removal. This was just the second time Bibee has yielded more than two runs in his seven major-league starts, which speaks to his steadiness so far for Cleveland. He's posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.12 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB in 39.1 innings overall, and though both Triston McKenzie (shoulder) and Aaron Civale (oblique) are slated to rejoin the rotation this week, Bibee's starting spot figures to be be safe with Cal Quantrill (shoulder) headed to the IL.
