Very early slow start sells, 2025
Apr 19 2025
This is the time of the year when we preach the value of exercising excruciating patience when it comes to early bad results.
That said, very bad early stats or skills by some SP can be signs that should make you consider selling high on them, particularly if their skills show multiple signs of worry. This especially is the case if you have big holes in other areas of your roster that you can patch by trading away SP who are carrying ominous early-season skills.
These starting pitchers with a 4.00+ ERA have shown the worst skills so far in 2025:
| Name | Lg | ERA | WHIP | K% | BB% | K-BB% | GB% | SwK% | Ball% | BPV |
| Chris Paddack | AL | 9.49 | 1.86 | 15% | 13% | 2% | 39% | 9.6% | 38% | (22) |
| Tyler Alexander | NL | 4.05 | 1.50 | 18% | 13% | 5% | 24% | 8.2% | 36% | (10) |
| Grant Holmes | NL | 4.02 | 1.21 | 20% | 16% | 5% | 34% | 9.1% | 38% | (8) |
