As Week 9 rolls in, the focus shifts to five pitchers who are gaining traction in fantasy baseball. Each player falls within the 50-70% rostership range, signaling their potential as either breakout stars or temporary fliers. Andrew Abbott of the Cincinnati Reds has turned heads with a 1.80 ERA and 43 strikeouts over 35 innings, but his high strand rate raises questions about sustainability. Matthew Liberatore of the St. Louis Cardinals has revamped his arsenal, showcasing a promising 2.92 ERA. Meanwhile, Matthew Boyd of the Chicago Cubs continues to impress with solid control and a 2.98 ERA. AJ Smith-Shawver and Will Warren round out the list, with both showing flashes of brilliance yet possessing metrics that suggest possible regression. This week, savvy fantasy managers must decide if these pitchers are breakout candidates or merely riding a wave of good fortune.
