Rest-of-Season Projections

Throws five scoreless
Groome allowed one hit and struck out four over five scoreless innings for Double-A Portland on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Groome picked up where he left off for Portland at the end of 2021, as he went 2-0 with a 2.30 ERA, .211 batting-average against and 26 strikeouts over 15.2 innings (three starts) for the Sea Dogs last September. His career since being selected in the first round (12th overall) of the 2016 draft has been notable mostly for injuries, including Tommy John surgery in 2018. The left-hander threw a career-high 97.1 innings last season and is experiencing his longest stretch of health since joining professional ball. There's still time for the 23-year-old, who stands at 6-foot-6 and 262 pounds, to reclaim the promise he once had.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2018
2017
Groome is a high-pedigree prospect, drafted 12th overall in the 2016 draft. He signed for $3.65 million -- a franchise record for a drafted pitcher-- thanks to a combination of physical traits and unusual polish for a high-school prospect. At 6-foot-6 and 220 pounds, there's no doubt that Groome has the size to make it as a starter at the big-league level. However, the southpaw has been slow to develop, mostly because he dealt with back and forearm problems before ultimately being forced to undergo Tommy John surgery in the spring of 2018. Injuries combined with the lost 2020 campaign have limited Groome to no more than 55 innings in a single season and only 66 total frames in organized ball since being drafted. Now 22, Groome was added to the 40-man roster this offseason, though he's still likely at least a year away from the big leagues as he looks to refine his repertoire and control.
