2025 Fantasy Outlook
Gore set new bests with 32 starts and 166.1 innings. His strikeout and walk rates were like the previous season but he did a much better job keeping the ball in the yard. Unfortunately, a .340 BABIP and 68.1 percent left-on-base mark sabotaged his effort, especially WHIP where his 1.42 mark was third worst among qualified pitchers. An inordinately high line-drive rate bloated his BABIP, so Gore should enjoy some regression in that area this season. Gore didn't alter his pitch mix or location much, but he added a tick to his fastball and slider while taking something off his curve and changeup, which helped keep hitters off balance. Gore has established durability, now he needs to fine-tune his control to become more than a fantasy streaming option. Entering his 26-year-old season, it's worth taking the chance he can achieve it.

Dazzles in pitchers' duel Tuesday
Gore came away with a no-decision in the second game of Tuesday's doubleheader against Atlanta, allowing two hits and three walks over 5.1 scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
Matched up against fellow left-handed ace Chris Sale, Gore rose to the occasion, tossing 56 of 92 pitches for strikes before leaving the mound in a 0-0 tie that wasn't decided until the 10th inning. Gore hasn't seemed overly affected by the bout of shoulder inflammation that sidelined him briefly in early September, and through two outings since coming off the IL he's given up two runs in 10.1 innings with a 9:5 K:BB. He'll look for his first win since Aug. 10 in his final start of 2025, a rematch with Atlanta on the road early next week.

Part of the Nationals' return from the Padres for Juan Soto in August of 2022, Gore is coming off a good-not-great first full MLB season. Well, it wasn't actually a completely full season because the Nats shut him down in early September due to a blister on his left index finger. That's a non-issue now, though, and the young southpaw will be looking to build this year on the things he did best in 2023. One of the hardest-throwing lefties in the sport, Gore used his fastball and power slider to strike out 151 batters over 136.1 innings, delivering a 26.0 strikeout percentage that ranked top-20 among the 87 big-league pitchers who logged more than 130 innings last year. If he can rein in his command and find more trust in the other elements of his five-pitch arsenal, the groundwork will be laid for Gore to quickly rise up the ranks of dependable fantasy starters. At the moment, the dependability is still a bit in question.
