Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2019
Widener got his first taste of the big leagues in 2020, finishing the year with a 4.50 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and a 22:12 K:BB across 20 innings of relief work. The 26-year-old struggled mightily at Triple-A as a starter just a year ago, accruing an 8.10 ERA over 100 frames, but he was serviceable for Arizona near the middle of the bullpen. He needs to continue to develop a better feel for his secondary pitches moving forward after posting a 5.40 BB/9, the worst mark of his professional career. Despite Widener's inconsistency with his command, the club should provide him with opportunities to take another step forward in 2021, though it's unclear if it'll be as a part of the starting rotation or as a reliever.
Widener impressed in his first taste of Double-A last year, finishing the year with a 2.75 ERA over 25 starts and one relief appearance. His supporting statistics backed up his results, as he struck out an impressive 31.9% of batters while walking just 7.8%. The righty was seen as having a lot of relief risk heading into the season due to worries about his changeup and command, though improvements to both have increased the likelihood that he can stick in the rotation. He'll likely be starting the year in Triple-A, but it's not impossible that he could get some starts in the big leagues late in the year. Alternatively, the team could decide he'd be useful in the bullpen, where his deceptive, low-slot delivery could make him an interesting weapon.
