2024 Fantasy Outlook
Winn, the Rangers' first-round draft pick in 2018, looked like he was on his way following a breakout 2021 season at Double-A Frisco, which included an appearance in the All-Star Futures game and being named the Double-A Central Pitcher of the Year. The path to MLB has since stalled at Triple-A Round Rock, where he's issued a passel of walks (166 in 222.2 IP, 6.7 BB/9) and his HR/FB spiked over the last two seasons. The right-hander was eventually moved to the bullpen in June, but Winn's results didn't improve much. His fastball still lives in the 92-95 mph zone, but whatever action and deception worked at Double-A did not fool Triple-A hitters. The good news is that Winn pitched well in Puerto Rican Winter League, which potentially sets him up to compete for an open No. 5 starter job for Texas. The Rangers need to bide their time until June when Max Scherzer (back) is expected back. Read Past Outlooks
Hits first snag in majors
Winn (0-1) was charged with Friday's loss after giving up four runs on four hits over one-third of an inning against the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Winn entered a 1-1 game to start the seventh inning and allowed four singles before his removal. The 24-year-old breezed through his introduction to MLB, throwing seven scoreless innings over five outings (zero hits, one walk, seven strikeouts) before facing his first adversity Friday. Texans general manager Chris Young raved about the right-hander to Kenndi Landry of MLB.com earlier this week, noting Winn was attacking the strike zone. Walks have been issue in the past for Winn, whose strikes may have caught too much of the zone Friday.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2020
Winn logged a 2.41 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 107:31 K:BB in 86 innings last season, with 19 starts coming at Double-A and two starts at Triple-A. Texas has one of the easiest rotations to break into in the league, and Winn is easily the Rangers' best pitching prospect with upper-level experience, so his path to playing time is clear. His fastball, changeup and curveball are each plus offerings, so the main thing Winn needs to work on is cutting down on the walks (9.3 BB%). Depending on whether the Rangers add anyone after the lockout, Winn could be one of the team's three our four best starting pitchers in big-league camp. However, he is not on the 40-man roster yet. It's a matter of when, not if, Winn makes his big-league debut this season. He is not so elite that there won't be ups and downs, but he could eventually be a strong No. 2 or No. 3 starter if he stays healthy.
