2025 Fantasy Outlook
Perhaps just betting on college pitchers with elite control and modest stuff in the draft is the way to go. McGreevy, whom the Cardinals nabbed with the 18th overall pick in 2021, had a 2.6 percent walk rate as a junior for UC Santa Barbara that year. Three years later, he made his big-league debut this past July and made another three starts in September and finished with a 2.3 percent walk rate in 23 MLB innings. McGreevy, a 6-foot-4 righty with a 93-mph fastball, generated groundballs at a 62.5 percent clip in his first four big-league starts, and having Masyn Winn and Nolan Arenado behind him helped consistently translate those groundballs into outs. He logged unsustainably low ratios (1.96 ERA, 0.78 WHIP), but even when those ratios normalize, McGreevy should still be among the better rookie pitchers in those categories. While he does have a plus slider, McGreevy's game is more about generating weak contact than racking up strikeouts on a per-start basis. However, after logging 173 total innings last year, he could still finish near the top of the rookie leaderboard in Ks with a full season in the big-league rotation. Read Past Outlooks

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to start?
McGreevy could slot into St. Louis' rotation next week after Lance Lynn was placed on the injured list Wednesday due to knee inflammation, per Katie Woo of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
McGreevy was called up in a corresponding move Wednesday and will immediately be available out of the bullpen, but it would make sense for the Cardinals to give him a look in the rotation since they're effectively out of the playoff hunt. The 24-year-old made his MLB debut July 31 against Texas and allowed just one run on five hits with three strikeouts and a walk over seven innings, and he should have a chance to secure a spot in the big-league rotation during spring training.
