Jacob deGrom hasn’t reached 100.0 innings pitched since 2019 and is 36 years old .

The former ace is a former ace who’s older but coming off his first normal offseason in years .

DeGrom owns a 2.07 ERA, a 0.87 WHIP and a 30.5 K-BB% since 2018 , which all lead MLB starters by wide margin.

The BAT projects Boyd to have the 36th best K% among SPs in 2025 , just behind Yoshinobu Yamamoto .

Boyd ’s workload may be somewhat limited, but in an era when fewer and fewer pitchers are throwing 200 + innings, fantasy managers can be happy with 160 .

Boyd has been going undrafted in more than half of Yahoo leagues.
