If you’re not excited about the state of dynasty pitching, I don’t know what to tell you, but the future is bright. Pitching just feels deeper than it ever has been and I don’t think the depth of elite talent will be going away any time soon. There are young studs all over the place, both in the big leagues (Paul Skenes, Garrett Crochet, Grayson Rodriguez, etc.) and in the minor leagues (Andrew Painter, Noah Schultz, Bubba Chandler, etc.). But it’s not just the under-25 crowd that’s great, some of the best pitchers in the league are just hitting their prime (Tarik Skubal, Logan Gilbert, George Kirby, etc.) or dynasty “old” and still producing (Chris Sale, Zach Wheeler, Blake Snell, etc.). You can cobble together a rotation of just young guns or stick to those just in their prime (the 28-32 year old group) or even target an all “old’ group and have plenty of success with all three groups. So there are plenty of options for you and you can build your rotation in a number of ways, all of which can put you into the best situation possible to win your league.

I’m a husband, father and fantasy sports fanatic. I’ve been playing some fantasy sport or other since the fall of 1996, thanks to one of my childhood best friends, Brent. I enjoy watching all major sports, reading fantasy novels, watching TV shows and movies, playing video games and writing about fantasy baseball. I started at Sports Ethos in 2023, just writing one article a week and cutting my teeth in fantasy sports writing and I am now a co-lead of the Fantasy Baseball department, co-host of the Fantasy MLB Today podcast and the author of two weekly articles, our dynasty baseball rankings and a handful of random articles a year. I support the Houston Astros, Dallas Mavericks, Tennessee Titans and all things Texas Longhorns.
