2023 Fantasy Outlook
In his first full season in the rotation, Suarez started 29 games as a 15-day visit to the IL for back spasms cost him three outings. Regression was expected, though the landing point was unclear due to the extreme nature of the 2021 breakout. He was unable to maintain last season's skills as his strikeout rate fell six points to 19.5% while his walk rate ticked up to 8.8%. After throwing a sinker, four-seamer and changeup with the occasional slider the previous season, Suarez added a cutter and curve. None were as effective as in 2021, though the new curve shows promise with a 17.7% swinging strike rate. With a regular offseason to tweak his arsenal, Suarez could recapture some of his swing-and-miss, while an extreme groundball rate limits homers, hence guarding ERA. Suarez as a starter is still a work in progress, but the pieces are there to be a mixed league asset, especially in a streaming capacity. Read Past Outlooks

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022

2019
If MLB had a Most Improved Player Award, Suarez may well have won it last season. He was coming off a season lost almost entirely to COVID-19 and owned a career 4.66 ERA in 67.2 innings, most of which came in relief, and he didn't even crack the big-league roster until May. After some strong initial performances, he was temporarily elevated to the closer role and saved four games before the Phillies decided he was needed even more in the rotation. He closed the year with 12 starts and finished with a remarkable 1.36 ERA in 106 innings. Suarez isn't the second coming of Bob Gibson, so he didn't truly earn an ERA quite that low, but his peripherals indicate he should remain a well above-average pitcher going forward. He was better than average in both strikeout rate (25.6%) and walk rate (7.9%) while posting a very strong groundball rate (59.2%, third among pitchers who threw at least 100 innings). Due to the lockout, visa issues may prevent Suarez from being ready for Opening Day.
