As the 2025 MLB season heads into the All-Star break, several pitchers are under scrutiny due to disappointing performances. Bailey Ober of the Minnesota Twins began the season with high expectations but has struggled, with his velocity significantly down and an alarming increase in earned runs. Despite a promising 2024 campaign, his recent 8.51 ERA in June has fantasy managers reconsidering his value. Kevin Gausman, a seasoned ace for the Toronto Blue Jays, also faced a rough patch in June, marred by control issues leading to a high ERA despite still striking out batters. His previous form suggests he could bounce back, making him a hold for now. Lastly, Brandon Pfaadt of the Arizona Diamondbacks was looked at as a potential breakout but has failed to find consistency, particularly with his strikeout rate plummeting and hard-hit balls against skyrocketing.
