Fantasy Impact

Despite the defeat, Spiers showcased solid skills with a 1.50 ERA and 0.83 WHIP this season, indicating potential for future success. However, his lack of run support and a 5.26 FIP suggest that he may struggle to convert strong outings into wins. Fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely, as his low BABIP and strikeout-to-walk ratio indicate he could be a valuable asset if the offense can back him up.

Spiers will open the season as the Reds' fifth starter after a strong spring, posting a 2.70 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 10 innings. If he carries his spring success into the regular season, he could make a case to remain in the rotation even after Andrew Abbott returns.
