Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Rankings Updated for 2025

NEW YORK, NY — A new set of rankings for the top 100 fantasy baseball starting pitchers for the 2025 season has been released as of June 30. The rankings focus on 5×5, 12-team, head-to-head formats, with special attention to players on the injured list (IL).
These updated rankings provide insights into pitchers to consider adding to fantasy rosters, especially those expected to be activated from the IL. Notably, the table lists injured pitchers, detailing their current status and potential ranking when healthy.
Injuries are commonplace, and understanding their impact on fantasy values is crucial. For instance, several pitchers are ranked in tiers based on their projected performance upon return, with considerations made for their pitching styles and past performances.
This edition also includes a segment on prospects. These young talents may quickly rise up the rankings if they secure rotation spots, and fantasy managers are encouraged to stash them while their value is still developing. Players like Emmet Sheehan and Noelvi Marte are highlighted as must-adds for teams needing additional depth.
The rankings emphasize various performance factors, including a pitcher’s ability to accumulate quality starts, ratios, and strikeout rates over the season. Additionally, pitchers are categorized into different tiers for clearer decision-making regarding lineups, focusing on whether to auto-start, probably start, or drop entirely.
As June concludes, keep an eye on these updates to enhance your fantasy baseball strategies as the season progresses.
