Expert Note
View More NotesCole Ragans was a hot entity heading into the 2024 fantasy season, and he delivered on expectations. He pitched 186 1/3 innings, struck out 223 batters, and ended with a 3.14 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP. His xERA and xFIP mostly backed up these numbers, and his 29.3% K rate landed him in the 88th percentile of the league. He walked a few more batters than fantasy managers would have liked (8.8 BB%) and seemed to run out of steam near the end of the season. However, he has plenty of upside heading into 2025 and can hold down a fantasy rotation's SP1 spot.
