2024 Fantasy Outlook
Irvin is the classic example of the difference between real baseball and fantasy baseball. Real baseball general managers have to find someway to get roughly 1450 innings of pitching to survive a season. In the old days, it would be 1000 from the rotation and 450 from the bullpen, but that now looks closer to 850-900 from the rotation and more from the pen. Pitchers like Irvin fill a need on real baseball teams because they can take the ball and eat up innings as Irvin did in 2023. Fantasy baseball managers can be more selective in the pitchers they use to get to a league minimum for innings pitched, and the successful ones avoid using the type of innings Irvin provides as they are harmful to ratios without providing many chances for wins on a bad club. Irvin's repertoire is better served in the bullpen until he comes up with a better offspeed pitch. The best case scenario here is a NL-Only end game pick for depth purposes only. Read Past Outlooks
Has Atlanta's number
Irvin (4-5) earned the win Friday over Atlanta, allowing four hits and two walks over six scoreless innings. He struck out four.

Irvin's lowered his ERA to 3.12 on the season with a 1.03 WHIP and 64:14 K:BB across 75 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Detroit.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Encouraging underlying metrics
Irvin is holding opponents to a .224 batting average against his fastball and .182 batting average against his curveball through 17 starts this season.
ANALYSIS
Irvin's fastball and curveball combine to account for 68.8 percent of his total pitches thrown, so his bread and butter being effective is noteworthy. His sinker, on the other hand, is getting blasted at a .364/.400/.535 opponent slash. Finding success with a third pitch is a critical next step for the 26-year-old, but his foundation is encouraging. Irvin owns a 4.93 ERA across 84.0 total innings in his rookie campaign.
