Cleveland Guardians
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gaddis appeared in 11 games for Cleveland in 2023, making seven starts and totaling 42 innings pitched. The 25-year-old had middling results with a 4.50 ERA and 1.31 WHIP while striking out only 24 batters. Gaddis has flashed upside throughout his minor league career entering last year with a 12.1 K/9, but those results have yet to transfer to the major league level. Currently, Gaddis is on the outside looking in at a rotation spot with the Guardians and could settle into a long relief role for the team. For fantasy purposes Gaddis is best viewed as a streaming starter at best. Read Past Outlooks

Shaping up as reliever
PCleveland Guardians
March 11, 2024
Gaddis has allowed two runs on four hits, one walk and two hit batsmen while striking out seven over 5.2 innings across four Cactus League appearances.
ANALYSIS
Gaddis hasn't started any of his outings this spring, which suggests he's not in serious contention for a rotation spot. He's started nine of his 13 major-league appearances over the last two years, but the results have been mediocre at best. Gaddis doesn't have great strikeout numbers in the majors and his velocity sits around 93.5 mph, so he may be best suited for a long-relief role if he makes the big-league roster out of camp.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gaddis was able to jump up a couple of levels in 2022. He began the year with a 4.24 ERA and 1.17 WHIP over 76.1 innings at Double-A, but improved his ratios to a 3.60 ERA and 0.93 WHIP across 45 innings with Triple-A Columbus. The improvements didn't continue in his two spot starts in the majors, but there's still some obvious upside for the right-hander entering his age-25 season. He misses a ton of bats, racking up 12.1 K/9 mark in his minor-league career to date, though he also tends to give up loud contact. There's no obvious spot for Gaddis in the Guardians' rotation this spring, though his strikeout stuff could force the issue if he does well during spring training. He'll likely begin the year at Triple-A with the ability to fill in as a spot starter in the big leagues.
