2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gallen had a fantastic season and received some deserved votes for the Cy Young Award as he helped carry the Diamondbacks to their improbable World Series run. Most of his performance indicators were right in line with 2022 but better run support helped raise his wins while a near full-run jump in his ERA can be excused by the BABIP regression which we expected would come after his rather fortunate .237 BABIP in 2022. Simply put, there is not a performance issue to be concerned with as much as a workload concern. Gallen ended up throwing 243.2 innings in 2023, which was almost exactly double what he threw just two seasons ago. He managed a 52% increase in workload just fine from 2021 to 2022, but now we add another 32% increase in workload along with the stress of working in the postseason for the first time and we cannot help but wonder about the impact of that for 2024. 2023 was an excellent season, but it would not surprise us to see Gallen take a step back this season.

Hurls six shutout, no-hit innings
Gallen (11-6) picked up the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing four walks and no hits over six shutout innings. He struck out eight.
ANALYSIS
Gallen cruised through the opening frame before issuing three walks in the second, though he was still able to escape without allowing any damage. The right-hander would then go 1-2-3 through each of the next three innings and struck out six of the final 10 batters he faced before being relieved by Kevin Ginkel to open the seventh -- despite the former not allowing any hits up to that point. Gallen has now hurled six shutout innings in two of his last three starts, though he also issued four walks in both of those standout performances. Furthermore, he's now walked multiple batters in six-consecutive outings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
2020
For the first time in his career, Gallen avoided the injury bug, logging 31 starts and 184 innings. He recorded a career best 20.3% K-BB% mark, mostly due to a personal best 6.6% walk rate. Gallen's ratios benefited from a .237 BABIP as well as a 9.1% HR/FB mark. However, even if his 2.54 ERA was achieved with a boost from Lady Luck, Gallen's 3.05 FIP, 3.32 xFIP and 3.32 SIERA are all still excellent, softening the landing when the regression monster rears its ugly head. Gallen's pitch mix didn't change, but he threw his four-seam fastball, slider and curveball a little harder, increasing effectiveness so strikeouts should tick up with continued health. Gallen isn't off the injury concern hook but coming off a healthy season merits fantasy anchor consideration. There is a stigma about drafting pitchers from second-division teams, but the Diamondbacks offense is on the upswing, so wins are on the table.
