2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bradley's 2024 season did not begin until Mothers' Day weekend due to a pectoral strain suffered during spring training. His first start back was a dominating one against the Yankees followed up by a solid outing against Boston before two ugly outings around a one-hit effort over five innings against Kansas City. Bradley then went on a nine-start tear where he was arguably the best pitcher in the league, going 5-1 with a 0.82 ERA while holding batters to a .161 average with a 22.3% K-BB%. Bradley appeared to be on a run similar to what Blake Snell did in 2023, but it was not meant to be as Bradley went 2-7 the rest of the season with a 6.51 ERA with a 1.9 HR/9 as batters hit .288 against him over his final 11 starts. Failure is only failure if you do not learn from it, and perhaps the giant dose of humble pie that Bradley was forced to eat down the stretch is something he can grow from and use for 2025. He did close the season winning two of his last three starts while not allowing a home run in any of those outings. Read Past Outlooks
Third quality start in no-decision
Bradley didn't factor into the decision after allowing three runs on six hits and two walks in six innings Wednesday against Arizona. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Although he matched a season low with three punchouts, it was an encouraging bounce-back effort after Bradley yielded a season-high six runs in his last start. Wednesday marked his third quality start in five outings so far for the right-hander, who also fell just one pitch short of his career-high mark of 104 pitches that was set a year ago. The long ball remains an issue for Bradley, as he's given up four home runs in four starts in the month of April, but he'll take a 5.08 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 27:12 K:BB over 28.1 innings into a soft matchup at home against the Royals in his next projected start. As a team, Kansas City sits last in the majors with 12 homers in 2025.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Much was expected from Bradley heading into the 2023 season, and he delivered on a portion of that. The best thing we could say about Bradley is he struck out 28% of the batters he faced in his rookie season with a 19.6% K-BB%. That is where the fantasy accolades end because his other efforts were hurtful to many fantasy rosters. Bradley struggled with his command and the misses within the strike zone often led to homers as he allowed 32 homers in 142.1 innings of work between Durham and Tampa Bay. Bradley's 2023 season looks a lot like Triston McKenzie's 2021 season, which is what fantasy managers should look at for hope this season. Bradley's curveball and changeup got the job done, but the misses with his fastball and cutter led to 20 of the 23 homers he allowed at the big league level. Kyle Snyder has an outstanding track record of helping pitchers improve their execution and Bradley is quite capable of doing in 2024 whan McKenzie did in 2022.
