2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matthews was a fast-rising prospect last season who rose from High-A to the majors based on his impeccable control and strong strikeout rates but struggled in his first trip to the majors. Matthews had a 1.84 ERA with a 10.5 K/9 and just six walks in 78 innings between High-A and Double-A. After four starts at Triple-A, he was called up in August and had a 3.00 ERA in his first three starts, before struggling in his next six outings (9.13 ERA). He had good (2.6 BB/9) but not elite control in the majors but struggled to keep the ball in the park (2.6 HR/9). He also failed to pitch more than five innings in any start, though the Twins may have been limiting his workload. Matthews could win a spot in the rotation this spring and he has promising signs given his miniscule walk rate (1.0 BB/9 career in minors), strong strikeout rates (10.2 K/9 career in minors) and velocity (94.9 average mph fastball in the majors). Read Past Outlooks
Fans nine in no-decision
Matthews didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Royals, giving up two runs on five hits and a walk over four innings. He struck out nine.
ANALYSIS
The young righty got the hook after 81 pitches (57 strikes) having established a career high for strikeouts in his 11th big-league start. However, Matthews once again failed to go deep into a game after lasting just three innings in his season debut May 18. His ability to miss bats isn't in question, but he'll need to become more efficient if he wants to stick around in the Minnesota rotation. Matthews will take a 7.71 ERA and 14:4 K:BB through his first seven innings into his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road next weekend in Seattle.
