3 years agoPhiladelphia Phillies starting pitcher Zack Wheeler had a career year in 2021, pitching to a 2.78 ERA and 2.59 FIP with 247 strikeouts and 46 walks in 213 1/3 innings en route to finishing second in the voting for the National League Cy Young. One of baseball's best starters, Wheeler set career-highs in both strikeouts and innings pitched last season and will once again lead a Phillies rotation that is also set to feature Aaron Nola, Ranger Suarez, Kyle Gibson and Zach Eflin. Fantasy managers looking for an elite starting pitcher in the early rounds shouldn't hesitate in selecting the 31-year-old, who has also logged at least 180 innings in his last three full seasons.--Ben Rosener - RotoBaller
