2025 Player Outlook

Steele missed about a month and a half earlier in the season with a hamstring issue, and after a few rough starts following his return, he was solid the rest of the way, allowing three or more earned runs in three of his final 19 starts. Also, he posted a 2.47 ERA (2.76 FIP) and 9.22 K/9 during that run. Steele has posted a 3.18 ERA or lower in each of the past three seasons and harnessing his command of the strike zone has helped keep his WHIP at a solid level. He may not have fantasy ace upside, but he’s a reliable starter that will give you solid ratios, and a good offense backing him has Steele in line for the second season of his career with 10+ wins.
