2025 Fantasy Outlook
Irvin went on a brilliant run last season in which he posted a 2.18 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 71:17 K:BB over 78.1 innings spanning 13 starts from April 29 to June 4. All good things must come to an end, and sure enough, he pitched to a 6.50 ERA from there. Still, Irvin took the ball 33 times, totaled 187.2 innings and won 10 games for a 71-win Nationals team. While he is not a very hard thrower, good extension helps his stuff play up a bit, and he can drop in a pretty good curveball. The strikeouts are modest and his rough stretch to end the season may drive people off him, but the innings and secure spot in the rotation provide reason alone to consider the right-hander in many formats. On top of that, Irvin has hinted at some performance upside. Read Past Outlooks
Struggles in first loss
Irvin (2-1) took the loss Wednesday against the Phillies after allowing six runs on eight hits and three walks in six innings. He struck out two.
ANALYSIS
Irvin struggled in a tough matchup in Philadelphia, yielding a season-high eight knocks and six earned runs. The right-hander also tied season worsts with three walks and two punchouts, posting just five whiffs Wednesday. However, Irvin still managed to toss at least six innings in his fifth straight outing, so he'll look to continue providing length for the Nationals in his next scheduled appearance versus the Guardians. He owns a respectable 4.01 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 33:11 K:BB across 42.2 innings in 2025.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irvin is the classic example of the difference between real baseball and fantasy baseball. Real baseball general managers have to find someway to get roughly 1450 innings of pitching to survive a season. In the old days, it would be 1000 from the rotation and 450 from the bullpen, but that now looks closer to 850-900 from the rotation and more from the pen. Pitchers like Irvin fill a need on real baseball teams because they can take the ball and eat up innings as Irvin did in 2023. Fantasy baseball managers can be more selective in the pitchers they use to get to a league minimum for innings pitched, and the successful ones avoid using the type of innings Irvin provides as they are harmful to ratios without providing many chances for wins on a bad club. Irvin's repertoire is better served in the bullpen until he comes up with a better offspeed pitch. The best case scenario here is a NL-Only end game pick for depth purposes only.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Encouraging underlying metrics
Irvin is holding opponents to a .224 batting average against his fastball and .182 batting average against his curveball through 17 starts this season.
ANALYSIS
Irvin's fastball and curveball combine to account for 68.8 percent of his total pitches thrown, so his bread and butter being effective is noteworthy. His sinker, on the other hand, is getting blasted at a .364/.400/.535 opponent slash. Finding success with a third pitch is a critical next step for the 26-year-old, but his foundation is encouraging. Irvin owns a 4.93 ERA across 84.0 total innings in his rookie campaign.
