2025 Fantasy Outlook
Warren hasn't put it all together yet, but he consistently misses bats while limiting the walks enough to keep the dream of starting alive. He had a 10.32 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 22.2 innings last year in his first taste of the majors, yet Warren's 17.3 K-BB% was better than Luis Gil's 14.8 K-BB% and in the same ballpark as Nestor Cortes (17.3 K-BB%), Clarke Schmidt (17.8 K-BB%) and Gerrit Cole (17.9 K-BB%). Warren's best offering by far is his low-80s sweeper, and that fastball/sweeper combo allowed him to log a 28.6 K-BB% against righties, but he was completely ineffective against lefties (1.9 K-BB%, 2.30 WHIP), and he'll need to improve either his changeup (12% usage) or cutter (4% usage) to successfully navigate a big-league lineup multiple times. Warren should return to Triple-A, but he could make double-digit starts in the majors as a fill-in option with a dash of breakout potential and a good reason to watch him in the spring (looking to see how he does against left-handed hitters).

Secures rotation spot
PNew York Yankees
March 23, 2025
Manager Aaron Boone announced Sunday that Warren made the season-opening rotation and will make his first start April 1 versus Arizona, Gary Phillips of the New York Daily News reports.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander entered camp with an outside shot to earn a place in the Opening Day rotation, but long-term injuries to Luis Gil (lat) and Gerrit Cole (elbow) blew that door wide open. Warren had a good showing during spring training with a 4.19 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 19:5 K:BB over 19.1 innings, though he did serve up three homers. Clarke Schmidt will begin the season on the IL due to a shoulder issue but may not be sidelined long, so Warren may need a strong start to the campaign in order to retain his rotation spot.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Warren dominated down the stretch at Triple-A and has a 70-grade sweeper that averaged over 3,000 RPMs last year to go with a 93-94 mph fastball that touches 97 mph. He also throws an 89-mph changeup and a standard slider that is thrown harder and with less spin than his sweeper. He had a 2.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in 55.2 innings over his final 10 starts at Triple-A and had a 52.7 percent groundball rate over 99.2 innings at that level. Automated balls and strikes contributed to his 10.9 percent walk rate, and Warren should have good enough control to start long term. He looks like a No. 3 starter on paper and could exceed that projection if the command gains he showed down the stretch hold. Warren tallied 129 total innings and turns 25 in June. He could compete for a rotation spot in spring training, especially if anyone else in the rotation is dealing with an injury.
