2022 Fantasy Outlook
Gomber was the primary return in the trade that sent Nolan Arenado from the Rockies to the Cardinals last offseason. Although the left-hander battled some injuries during his first year in Colorado, he showed glimpses of promise while maintaining a consistent spot in the rotation. He made 23 starts during the 2021 campaign and posted a 4.53 ERA and 1.24 WHIP in 115.1 innings, but his 4.18 xFIP suggests that he was slightly unlucky. Gomber leaned more heavily on his off-speed pitches and recorded a career-high 11.3% swinging-strike rate as a result. However, the 28-year-old posted a middling 23.2 K% during his first full season in the majors. Although he showed some potential at limiting runs last year, Gomber's lackluster strikeout numbers limit his fantasy potential, particularly when he has to pitch his home games at Coors Field. Read Past Outlooks

Lasts six innings against Royals
Gomber allowed three hits on four hits and three walks while striking out three in six innings in Sunday's loss to the Royals. He didn't factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Gomber gave up five runs in 5.1 innings during his last start, but he was slightly more successful against Kansas City on Sunday. The southpaw posted his fourth quality start in his last five outings but was in line for his fourth loss of the season when he exited the matchup. However, he was able to settle for the no-decision since the Rockies put up seven runs in the bottom of the seventh inning. Gomber has been inconsistent early in 2022, and he has a 4.38 ERA and 1.23 WHIP in 39 innings over his first seven starts. He tentatively lines up to make his next start at home against the Mets on Saturday.

Wins have been hard to come by this season. Jason Collette examines early run-support numbers and notes pitchers that have enjoyed good fortune in that regard, and those that have not, like Corbin Burnes.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2016
Appearing in any capacity in the majors last season would have been a win for Gomber after biceps and shoulder injuries prevented him from throwing any innings at the highest level in 2019. His 1.86 ERA in 29 innings (four starts and 10 relief appearances) is therefore arguably even better than it looks. On the other hand, that ERA appears to be largely a small-sample fluke, as his supporting stats weren't all that impressive. It took a .243 BABIP, 86.7% strand rate and 4.0 HR/FB% to get him to that excellent mark, while his 22.7 K% was slightly below average and his 12.6 BB% was significantly worse than par. Altogether, that's a package more in line with the back-end starter he projected to be as a prospect. If he does look set for a rotation role, he'll be an interesting enough lottery ticket, and his 27.2 K% at the Triple-A level indicates potential for growth, but don't be fooled by his stellar ERA.
