Sleepers, 2025

This column—along with the one that will run in this space in two weeks—will help you target undervalued starting pitchers.

Sleepers can be defined in a lot of ways. Here, we'll look mostly at established SP who could be ready to break out in 2025.

Our next look at undervalued SP will help you target cheaper SP who warrant attention in your end-game. This exercise was fruitful last year, as we recommended investments in Hunter Brown (RHP, HOU), Cole Ragans (LHP, KC), Joe Ryan (RHP, MIN), Tarik Skubal (LHP, DET), Bryan Woo (RHP, SEA), Hunter Greene (RHP, CIN), Chris Sale (LHP, ATL), Cristopher Sánchez (LHP, PHI), and Luis Severino (RHP, ATH), all of whom delivered impactful results for their fantasy managers.

A breakout target in one...
