Tanner Bibee

24-Year-Old PitcherSP
2023 Fantasy Outlook
A fifth-round pick out of Cal State Fullerton in 2021 who signed for just under $260K, Bibee went from unranked and unheralded to one of the top-30 pitching prospects in the minors after a breakout 2022 season. The 6-foot-2, 205-pound righty registered a 31.6 K-BB% at High-A and a 23.5 K-BB% at Double-A while building up to 132.2 innings. He has a complete four-pitch mix, headlined by a mid-90s fastball and a mid-80s slider. Bibee is a flyball pitcher and he probably got lucky with a 4.8% HR/FB in 73.2 innings at Double-A, but he limited the free passes at both stops. The Guardians' rotation is pretty crowded, and Bibee is unlikely to be as dominant going forward as he was in 2022, so it's not a bad idea to explore his trade value this offseason if you were fortunate enough to add him in-season.

Excellent again Saturday
PCleveland Guardians
May 27, 2023
Bibee allowed one run on two hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over six innings in a no-decision against St. Louis on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Bibee stifled the Cardinals' bats throughout the contest, but a second-inning solo home run by Brendan Donovan was enough to hold him to a no-decision. The right-hander racked up an impressive 19 swinging strikes en route to a career-high nine punchouts, and he picked up his third consecutive quality start. Bibee has had one bad outing this season -- a 3.2-inning, four-run effort against Detroit on May 8 -- but has otherwise been fantastic. Overall, he's posted a 2.88 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB across 35.1 frames.
