Tyler Mahle has emerged as a surprising force on the mound, showcasing remarkable dominance despite his below-average fastball velocity. In a recent game against the Angels, Mahle struck out nine batters while averaging just 92 mph on his four-seam fastball, which is notably lower than the league average. His success stems from an impressive 41% whiff rate on that pitch, positioning him ahead of many faster pitchers. Although Mahle's health has been a concern in past seasons, this performance, combined with a solid whiff rate on his splitter last year, suggests potential value for fantasy players. His ability to generate swings and misses could make him a high-priority addition for teams in need of pitching depth, especially given the scarcity of emerging options in the current landscape.
