Very early slow start holds, 2025
Apr 12 2025
With only extremely tiny data samples available to us after two weeks of the season, it's hard to put a lot of analytical reliability in skills because they can change wildly from start to start.
That said, many fantasy managers will make rash drop decisions very early in the year once they start accruing bad stats from their SP. While no one wants to accrue bad stats, those knee-jerk reactions will prevent you from enjoying the ride up when skilled SP see their bad stats correct over time.
These have been the most skilled starters so far in 2025 (min 10 IP):
| Name | Lg | ERA | WHIP | K% | BB% | K-BB% | GB% | SwK% | Ball% | BPV |
| Logan Gilbert | AL | 2.55 | 0.62 | 39% | 5% | 34% | 54% | 19.3% | 34% | 220 |
| Jesus Luzardo | NL | 1.50 | 0.92 | 41% | 9% | 33% | 48% | 13.7% | 36% | 201 |
| Cole Ragans | AL | 2.81 | 1.13 | 36% | 6% | 30% | 41% |
