Spencer Strider's 2024 season was cut short due to an elbow injury sustained in April, limiting him to just two starts. Looking ahead to 2025, Strider's health will be obviously be a pivotal factor. If he returns fully recovered, his track record suggests he can reestablish himself as a top-tier fantasy pitcher, offering high strikeout totals and the potential for a strong ERA and WHIP. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training to assess his readiness for the upcoming season. If his anticipated return is May, he could pay huge dividends coming out of the 11th round.
