2023 Fantasy Outlook
Fleming is the type of pitcher who may have found success in the 70's or 80's when the game of baseball was littered by soft-tossing lefties who moved the ball all around the zone and pitched to contact. The modern game of baseball is all about velocity, and he has very little of it. Fleming throws nothing straight, and mostly hopes that what he does throw does not get lost over the middle of the plate on its slow journey toward home plate. While he did win 15 games in his first two seasons in the league, that was more due to his usage as a bulk guy behind an opener than any starting pitching prowess. He has a career 5.77 ERA as a starter and a 3.92 ERA as a reliever. Every team needs to have some depth arms to use when a rash of injuries hits the regular staff, and Fleming fits that role. That said, he has almost no fantasy viability outside of very deep AL-Only leagues. Read Past Outlooks
Hit hard in no-decision
Fleming did not factor into the decision Sunday, allowing 10 runs (eight earned) on 12 hits and two walks over six innings against the Dodgers. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
The home run ball was Fleming's downfall against the Dodgers -- five out of the 12 hits he surrendered left the yard. The 27-year-old southpaw had been pitching well coming into Sunday's matchup, allowing just three earned runs over 15 innings in his last three starts. Fleming's ERA is up to 4.62 with a 1.44 WHIP and 24:19 K:BB across 48.2 innings this season. He'll look to get back on track in his next start, tentatively scheduled for next week against the Red Sox in Fenway Park.

2021
Fleming doesn't have great velocity (91.2 mph average fastball last season) or strikeout rates (5.6 K/9) but has outstanding control (2.1 BB/9) and ground-ball rates (55.7%). He'll likely work multiple roles in the bullpen and as an occasional opener.
