In the realm of fantasy baseball, the spotlight is firmly on starting pitchers, particularly as we prepare for the 2025 season. Paul Skenes of the Pittsburgh Pirates has emerged as the top pitcher, boasting an impressive resume with an 11-3 record, a 1.96 ERA, and 170 strikeouts in just 133 innings during his rookie season.

This season's rankings cater specifically to dynasty leagues, ensuring that both short-term and long-term strategies are accounted for. As fantasy managers gear up for drafts, insights into player health and projected performance are crucial. With news of pitchers like Dylan Cease and Roki Sasaki making their debuts, the landscape for starting pitchers is evolving, offering opportunities for savvy drafters to capitalize on emerging talent.
