2021 Fantasy Outlook
The Marlins have a good corps of starters, but it looks like they may have let an ace get away when they traded Gallen to Arizona at the 2019 trade deadline. Gallen has been one of the most effective starting pitchers in the game since he broke into the majors that season. A third-round pick in 2016, Gallen has faced 625 batters in the big leagues and pitched to a 2.78 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 178:61 K:BB. He has a balanced pitch mix, utilizing his four-seamer, cutter, curveball and changeup all at least 16% of the time. His cutter has good horizontal break, his changeup has good downward movement and he can command the ball well in and around the zone. The ERA estimators suggest some performance giveback is imminent and it is best to count on some, though Gallen has routinely outperformed his estimators in pro ball. Remember Chase Field has become a pitchers' park since the humidor was installed. Read Past Outlooks
Takes no-decision in second start
Gallen did not factor in the decision in Wednesday's win over the Reds, a completion of Tuesday's suspended game. He allowed three runs on four hits and four walks while striking out six over 5.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
Gallen made his second start of the season after spending time on the injured list with a hairline fracture of his right forearm. He built on both his innings and pitch count, throwing 98 pitches while pitching into the sixth inning. Gallen's next start is scheduled for Sunday at Atlanta.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Gallen impressed in his first glimpse of major-league action with the Marlins last season and was surprisingly traded to the Diamondbacks at the end of July. While the deal means that Gallen is now pitching in the stronger NL West, he also has a more productive offense powering him and a much better defense behind him. Although the right-hander only throws his fastball 92.9 mph on average, he has three strong secondary pitches and plus command. The 24-year-old posted a career-high 171.1 innings between the majors and minors last year before being shut down at the end of September, so workload should not be a major concern for 2020. Gallen may not overpower hitters with his velocity, but he can rack up strikeouts and the ingredients are there for him to take a leap. The hype train has already left the station, however, so know you're going to have to pay full freight if you want to go along for the ride.
