2021 Fantasy Outlook
Flexen struggled over his first three years in the majors from 2017 to 2019, so he headed to Korea to right the ship in 2020. The right-hander pitched well in the KBO, starting 21 games while posting a 3.01 ERA during that time with an impressive 2.74 FIP. He jumped to a 28.0 K% last season, and he'll now attempt to translate his production to major-league success. Flexen worked as a reliever during his first three years in the majors, issuing more walks (54) than strikeouts (49) over that span while posting a 31.9 GB% and 42.6% hard-hit rate in 2019. However, he should compete for a spot in the back end of Seattle's rotation given his success as a starter last year. He improved his command and posted a 132:30 K:BB over 116.2 innings and lasted at least five innings in 17 of his 21 starts. Flexen doesn't have a strong MLB resume, but his KBO success makes him a potential late-round option in deeper leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Throws 5.1 strong innings
Flexen got a no-decision in Saturday's 6-4 victory over the Angels, allowing one run on six hits and one walk with one strikeout in 5.1 innings.
ANALYSIS
Flexen pitched well in Saturday's win, permitting just one run on a Jose Rojas home run in the fifth inning, but he was saddled with the no-decision as Seattle's offense didn't get going until late. After sitting out the 2020 season, the 27-year-old concludes the regular season with a 14-6 record in 31 starts with a 3.61 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 125:40 K:BB in 179.2 innings.
