2025 Fantasy Outlook
Warren hasn't put it all together yet, but he consistently misses bats while limiting the walks enough to keep the dream of starting alive. He had a 10.32 ERA and 1.90 WHIP in 22.2 innings last year in his first taste of the majors, yet Warren's 17.3 K-BB% was better than Luis Gil's 14.8 K-BB% and in the same ballpark as Nestor Cortes (17.3 K-BB%), Clarke Schmidt (17.8 K-BB%) and Gerrit Cole (17.9 K-BB%). Warren's best offering by far is his low-80s sweeper, and that fastball/sweeper combo allowed him to log a 28.6 K-BB% against righties, but he was completely ineffective against lefties (1.9 K-BB%, 2.30 WHIP), and he'll need to improve either his changeup (12% usage) or cutter (4% usage) to successfully navigate a big-league lineup multiple times. Warren should return to Triple-A, but he could make double-digit starts in the majors as a fill-in option with a dash of breakout potential and a good reason to watch him in the spring (looking to see how he does against left-handed hitters).

The Yankees optioned Warren to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre after Saturday's game versus Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Warren pitched the ninth inning of Saturday's loss, allowing three earned runs on two hits and a walk while striking out three batters. His poor outing will give him a 10.32 ERA to finish the season through 22.2 innings in the majors.

Stat Review
How does Will Warren compare to other starting pitchers?
This section compares his stats with all starting pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 120 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Warren dominated down the stretch at Triple-A and has a 70-grade sweeper that averaged over 3,000 RPMs last year to go with a 93-94 mph fastball that touches 97 mph. He also throws an 89-mph changeup and a standard slider that is thrown harder and with less spin than his sweeper. He had a 2.10 ERA, 1.10 WHIP and 64 strikeouts in 55.2 innings over his final 10 starts at Triple-A and had a 52.7 percent groundball rate over 99.2 innings at that level. Automated balls and strikes contributed to his 10.9 percent walk rate, and Warren should have good enough control to start long term. He looks like a No. 3 starter on paper and could exceed that projection if the command gains he showed down the stretch hold. Warren tallied 129 total innings and turns 25 in June. He could compete for a rotation spot in spring training, especially if anyone else in the rotation is dealing with an injury.
