2024 Fantasy Outlook
The 2023 season was a tale of two halves for Stroman. The 32-year-old made his second All-Star team on the strength of a first half which saw him collect a 2.96 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 98:41 K:BB over 112.2 innings. In the second half, Stroman missed six weeks with hip and rib injuries and posted an 8.63 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and 21:11 K:BB over 24 frames. Undaunted by his poor finish, Stroman opted out of the one year and $21 million remaining on his contract with the Cubs to pursue free agency. Although there have been some curvy roads along the way, Stroman has been rock-solid on the whole over the last three seasons in holding a 3.45 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 396:132 K:BB across 454.1 innings. He's not going to help you in strikeouts, but Stroman remains an elite groundball guy and usually avoids the barrel. He should be a solid floor play in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Puts together strong spring
Stroman finished the Grapefruit League slate with a 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 16:7 K:BB over 20.2 innings across five starts.
ANALYSIS
Stroman signed a two-year deal with the Yankees in January, and his role with the club took on added importance when Gerrit Cole was diagnosed with an elbow injury that will likely cost him at least the first two months of the season. Though Stroman drew some criticism for turning down an opportunity to take Cole's place as the team's Opening Day starter, his reason for doing so was tied to sticking to his pitching schedule, per Brendan Kuty of The Athletic, and the right-handed hurler remains a critical component of New York's chance at success this season. Stroman certainly appears ready for the beginning of the campaign after finishing spring play with six shutout innings against Pittsburgh on Sunday.

After making 33 starts the previous year, a bout with COVID-19 and a shoulder issue limited Stroman to just 25 starts and 138.2 innings last season. His 14.6% K-BB% was in sync with his past few campaigns. However, for the first time in his career, Stroman yielded more than a homer per nine frames, albeit just a tad at 1.04 HR/9. Stroman performed much worse at home, sporting a 5.18 ERA and 1.32 WHIP at Wrigley Field as compared to 2.06/1.00 away from Waveland Avenue. This is likely just noise, but streaming Stroman at home last season backfired. The catch is Stroman's low 21% strikeout rate is best utilized in a streaming capacity, especially in leagues with an innings or starts limit where the strikeout category is essentially K/9. Stroman's low dominance, heavy groundball approach is usually effective, but he's subject to more variance than most hurlers, adding risk to his role as a ratio stabilizer.
