Keaton Winn

Winn broke camp in the Giants opening day rotation. He managed only 12 starts before being diagnosed with a nerve issue in his elbow. He underwent season-ending ulnar transposition surgery in late July. Winn hopes to be ready for spring training, but his role is unclear. He pitched better than last season's 7.16 ERA suggests as he was doomed by a 53.4 percent left on base mark. His 4.07 xFIP and 4.26 SIERA paint a rosier picture, but a 20.2 percent strikeout rate relegates Winn to swingman or back of the rotation status. He throws four pitches, but his four-seamer and sinker are around 95 to 96 mph while his splitter and slider are about 88 to 89 mph, so there isn't much of a delta to keep hitters off balance. Tracking Winn makes sense, but he needs to prove he can miss more bats before gaining fantasy relevancy. Read Past Outlooks
