He should be rostered in standard or deeper formats for the upside he possesses, although ...

Many have termed 2023 the "year of the rookie pitcher" in fantasy baseball. It is true that 32 pitchers that have debuted in 2023 have made a start in the majors this season, and that doesn't even figure in "rookie" pitchers like Hunter Brown and Matthew Liberatore who debuted in previous seasons, bringing the total rookies that have started to roughly 50.Only 68 pitchers that debuted in 2022 made a start last season over the entirety of the season, including those who made starts as openers. ...
