In the Cactus League opener, the Giants showcased their talent with a 6-1 victory. Landen Roupp stood out with two hitless innings, striking out three, while Bryce Eldridge hit a home run. Jung Hoo Lee made a strong return from injury, recording a hit and making an impressive catch in the outfield.

Marco Luciano, transitioning to left field, demonstrated solid defensive skills despite struggling at the plate. The Giants are evaluating their roster carefully, with key competition for positions heating up. The early spring training games promise excitement as the team prepares for the season.

As fantasy baseball managers gear up for their 2025 drafts, evaluating starting pitchers is crucial, particularly those whose K-BB% have dropped significantly. Kevin Gausman of the Toronto Blue Jays saw a notable decline of 9.9% in his K-BB%, raising concerns despite a strong ERA. Similarly, Zach Eflin's K-BB% fell by 6.9%, but his command remains elite, suggesting he might still be a reliable fantasy option. Cristopher Sánchez’s K-BB% decreased by 5.6%, yet he showed promise with a strong finish to the season. Understanding these trends can guide managers in making savvy draft decisions.
