Rest-of-Season Projections
2022 Fantasy Outlook
Bieber came into 2021 with aplomb after his Cy Young-winning season in 2020. There was some expected regression baked into his projections, but the final results were harsh given the events of the season. Bieber pitched effectively over 16 starts before a shoulder strain in mid-June essentially ended his season as he pitched just six more innings late in the campaign. His 2021 peripherals lineup up rather well with what he was doing in 2019 setting aside the highest walk rate of his career, albeit one at just 8.1%. His pitches still performed well as three of them -- the curve, slider and cutter -- had Whiff rates over 40% last season. His fastball betrayed him as both his expected batting average and slugging percentage were well below the actual numbers. He still pitches in a friendly division, so there should be no reason Bieber cannot return to ace status if the shoulder is healthy. Read Past Outlooks

Posts quality start Saturday
Bieber tossed six innings against Minnesota on Saturday, allowing one run on seven hits and three walks while striking out seven. He did not factor in the decision.
ANALYSIS
Bieber was coming off his worst outing of the campaign last weekend against Toronto, but he turned things around with his fourth quality start of the season. The right-hander gave up a solo home run to Gio Urshela in the fourth inning but otherwise kept the Twins off the scoreboard for six frames. He tied a season high with seven strikeouts despite inducing only seven swinging strikes. Bieber will carry a 3.72 ERA into his next start, which is lined up to come at home against Detroit next weekend.

Recent RotoWire Articles Featuring Shane Bieber

Todd Zola ranks the week's starting pitching as warming weather is contributing to more scoring. Sugar Shane McClanahan only has one start, but still tops the AL rankings.

Chris Morgan feels Ketel Marte is significantly undervalued and should do well against Kyle Hendricks and the Cubs.

Chris Bennett suggests picking either C.J. Cron, or Connor Joe around whom to build a lineup against Carlos Hernandez, who has allowed 18 runs in 22.2 innings.
Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Bieber followed up his breakout 2019 season by winning the American League Cy Young Award in a unanimous vote. The right-hander was not an MVP finalist alongside teammate Jose Ramirez, but Bieber had a case; he ranked third in all of baseball in fWAR (behind Ramirez and Freddie Freeman) and went 8-1 in 12 starts, carrying a Cleveland rotation that was without Mike Clevinger and Zach Plesac for a prolonged stretch. Bieber led the majors in K-BB rate at 34% and held opponents to a .167 average while showcasing some of the best command seen on a baseball field in recent memory. Hitters can still hit the ball hard when they manage to connect, but the connections are so few and far between that it hardly matters. The only real question is: has Bieber surpassed Jacob deGrom and/or Gerrit Cole among starters? It's close, but remember Bieber won't get to pitch all his games against Central Division teams in 2021.
