Toronto Blue Jays: Kevin Gausman
October 29, 2024
Kevin Gausman had a disappointing season relative to his draft position, finishing with a lower earned auction value than expected despite leading the American League in strikeouts with 237 in 2023. His strikeout rate dropped significantly in 2024, and he struggled with a shoulder injury that affected his four-seamer velocity and consistency. Although Gausman showed flashes of his former dominance with complete games and double-digit strikeout outings, concerns about his declining performance as he approaches 34 years old linger.

All-Bust Fantasy Team: Starting Pitchers

As the regular season concludes, a retrospective on starting pitching reveals significant disappointments among top draft picks. Kevin Gausman of the Toronto Blue Jays and Luis Castillo of the Seattle Mariners both fell short of expectations despite decent seasons, primarily due to reduced strikeout rates.

Zac Gallen of the Arizona Diamondbacks struggled with injuries and control issues, while Jesus Luzardo from the Miami Marlins faced setbacks from injuries and a decline in performance. Bobby Miller of the Los Angeles Dodgers experienced a shocking drop in form after a promising start, leading to an abysmal ERA.
