2021 Fantasy Outlook
Mears made his big-league debut amidst a shortened 2020 season, making four relief appearances for the Pirates. He surrendered three runs on four hits while striking out seven and walking seven across five innings of work. Prior to his debut, he hadn't pitched above Double-A, where he also saw limited action in 2019. Mears' elevated BB% was alarming in what turned out to be an extremely small sample size, but his strikeout stuff is up there with the best of them, featuring a solid fastball sitting around 96 mph and a curveball at 78 mph. It wouldn't be surprising to see Mears fall near the front end of Pittsburgh's bullpen in 2021 if he's able to crack the Opening Day roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Overcame pitch tipping
PMilwaukee Brewers
July 30, 2024
Mears said Sunday that he was informed just before the All-Star break that he was tipping pitches for most of the first half of the season, reports Adam McCalvy of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander has a 5.44 ERA, 1.47 WHIP and 59:21 K:BB over 46.1 innings this season, but a 2.93 xERA and 2.53 FIP offer a more encouraging outlook. The latter numbers are likely what intrigued the Brewers, which acquired Mears from the Rockies over the weekend. Mears has eight appearances with multiple runs allowed this season, but it's unclear how big of a role the pitch tipping played in those performances.
