2025 Fantasy Outlook
Irvin went on a brilliant run last season in which he posted a 2.18 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 71:17 K:BB over 78.1 innings spanning 13 starts from April 29 to June 4. All good things must come to an end, and sure enough, he pitched to a 6.50 ERA from there. Still, Irvin took the ball 33 times, totaled 187.2 innings and won 10 games for a 71-win Nationals team. While he is not a very hard thrower, good extension helps his stuff play up a bit, and he can drop in a pretty good curveball. The strikeouts are modest and his rough stretch to end the season may drive people off him, but the innings and secure spot in the rotation provide reason alone to consider the right-hander in many formats. On top of that, Irvin has hinted at some performance upside. Read Past Outlooks

Saddled with loss
Irvin (7-5) took the loss Sunday against Milwaukee, allowing three unearned runs on four hits and one walk across five innings. He struck out five.
Analysis
Irvin got no run support in the loss, and all three runs the Brewers scored while he was on the mound came after a two-out error by Brady House. Sunday's outing snapped a streak of seven consecutive starts yielding a home run. Irvin had also walked at least three batters in each of his last three starts. The 28-year-old owns a 4.58 ERA and an 83:38 K:BB across 116 innings heading into the All-Star break.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irvin is the classic example of the difference between real baseball and fantasy baseball. Real baseball general managers have to find someway to get roughly 1450 innings of pitching to survive a season. In the old days, it would be 1000 from the rotation and 450 from the bullpen, but that now looks closer to 850-900 from the rotation and more from the pen. Pitchers like Irvin fill a need on real baseball teams because they can take the ball and eat up innings as Irvin did in 2023. Fantasy baseball managers can be more selective in the pitchers they use to get to a league minimum for innings pitched, and the successful ones avoid using the type of innings Irvin provides as they are harmful to ratios without providing many chances for wins on a bad club. Irvin's repertoire is better served in the bullpen until he comes up with a better offspeed pitch. The best case scenario here is a NL-Only end game pick for depth purposes only.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Encouraging underlying metrics
Irvin is holding opponents to a .224 batting average against his fastball and .182 batting average against his curveball through 17 starts this season.
Analysis
Irvin's fastball and curveball combine to account for 68.8 percent of his total pitches thrown, so his bread and butter being effective is noteworthy. His sinker, on the other hand, is getting blasted at a .364/.400/.535 opponent slash. Finding success with a third pitch is a critical next step for the 26-year-old, but his foundation is encouraging. Irvin owns a 4.93 ERA across 84.0 total innings in his rookie campaign.
