2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wheeler hit 200 innings exactly during the 2024 regular season, marking his second time reaching that threshold. The right-hander continued to hammer the strike zone with six different pitches and remained an absolute headache for opposing batters. His ERA fell below 3.00 for the fourth time in the last five years and he set a new career high with 16 wins for the Phillies last season. Wheeler's K-BB rate exceeded 21 percent for the fourth consecutive year while is 0.96 WHIP was the best in the National League among qualified starters. Incredibly, Wheeler may still be under-appreciated. Never the most dominant arm in terms of strikeouts (career 9.6 K/9), Wheeler is approaching his 35th birthday in May. He's done a great job distancing himself from prior health woes, but the age and forearm blip from 2022 could push him behind some of the younger, flashier arms at the draft table.

Takes first loss of season
Wheeler (1-1) allowed four runs on seven hits and a walk while striking out three in six innings in a loss to the Cardinals on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wheeler blanked the Cardinals through three frames, but Willson Contreras was able to open up the scoring with a two-run blast in the fourth. The Cardinals tacked on two more in the sixth with three doubles in the inning. After a hot start to the year, Wheeler has allowed nine runs over his last two starts. His three strikeouts were the fewest in a start since he had two May 12 last year. Sunday was also the first time Wheeler has gone consecutive outings without a quality start since June 25 and July 1 in 2023. The 35-year-old righty is lined up for an excellent bounce back opportunity at home against the Marlins this week.

Wheeler heads into an interesting season in the final year of his five-year contract with Philadelphia. The righty has been everything the club had hoped for when it signed him to the deal as he has missed just five starts in his time with the club while giving the staff the consistency Aaron Nola could not. Wheeler had a strong regular season and an even stronger postseason with a 1.95 ERA over five games with 35 strikeouts and three walks in 27.2 innings of work. Wheeler turns 34 in the first third of the season and is pitching for his final big deal of his career. His four-seam fastball was exceptional last year with a .199 xBA and a 31% whiff rate, but his increased usage of the pitch has cut into the groundball tendencies from previous seasons. You should have supreme confidence in taking Wheeler as your staff ace because he has pitched like one as a Phillie and we see little reason why he won't do so again in what is likely his final year with the team.
