2024 Fantasy Outlook
Houser's time in Milwaukee has come to an end as the club traded him to the Mets in December. The right-hander reached his apex in the Brewers organization in 2021 when he went 10-6 with a 3.22 ERA and 1.28 WHIP over 142.1 innings. He has been unable to replicate the results or the workload in the years since, though 2023 was mostly a positive season around stints on the injured list due to groin and elbow issues. Houser took the ball 23 times (21 starts) and cut his walk rate down to the lowest mark of his career. He might be a good fit in spacious Citi Field given his heavy sinker-slider approach. The modest strikeout rate leaves him on the fringes in most fantasy leagues, but Houser should be in the Opening Day rotation for the Mets in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Fans six against Nats
Houser allowed four runs on four hits over five innings in Friday's Grapefruit League game against the Nationals. He struck out six without walking a batter.
ANALYSIS
The ball was carrying to left field at Clover Park, and Luis Garcia was able to slice a solo shot over the fence in the first inning before Lane Thomas clubbed a three-run blast in the fifth. Otherwise Houser had little trouble with the Washington lineup, firing 44 of 64 pitches for strikes. The former Brewer has been sharp this spring, posting a 14:1 K:BB through 12 innings, and he's on track to open the season in the Mets' rotation after producing a 4.12 ERA, 1.39 WHIP and 96:34 K:BB over 111.1 innings last year and earning a one-year, $5 million contract with New York in January.

2016
Houser remained a fixture in the Brewers' rotation in 2022, finishing top-4 among Brewers pitchers in starts for a third straight year. However, he missed nearly two months with an elbow injury and was not particularly effective when he was out there, as both his ERA and WHIP were notably higher than they were in 2021. Houser took most of his lumps against left-handed hitters and on the road, as his splits against righties and at home were palatable or better. The Brewers have five other pitchers capable of breaking camp in the rotation, so despite his reliability Houser will not be guaranteed a spot, especially after the offseason signing of Wade Miley. Even if he comes away with one, it might be tough to believe in a bounceback, as although his velocity has remained steady, he will be entering his age-30 season and both his K/9 and BB/9 have trended the wrong direction three years running.
