Tarik Skubal tore into the 2024 season and walked away with the AL Cy Young Award. The 27-year-old went 18-4, threw 192 innings, and struck out 228. His sparkling ERA of 2.39 and FIP of 2.49 went along with his 91st-percentile K% (30.3). He also had an elite walk rate of 4.6%. It's not bad for a guy people were concerned about coming off flexor tendon surgery. Skubal combines an effective 4-seam fastball with a devastating changeup that induced a 46.1 Whiff% in 2024. There is nothing in Skubal's profile to give fantasy managers pause, and he is projected to get right up to the 200-inning mark while pitching in a pitcher-friendly ballpark. It's a debate between him and Paul Skenes for who the true SP1 is in 2025, but Skubal brings plenty of stability to the position for fantasy managers.
