2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hart last appeared in the majors in 2020, appearing four times (three starts) for Boston in the pandemic season. He spent last season with the NC Dinos in the KBO, compiling 157 innings over 26 starts. He posted an encouraging 2.69 ERA and 1.032 WHIP, with a 28.8 percent strikeout rate and 6.0 percent walk rate. To put things in perspective, the quality of play in the KBO is considered a tad below Double-A, so a 31-year-old hurler should dominate at the level. That said, Erick Fedde parlayed his year in the KBO into a successful return to MLB, though Fedde was better than Hart during their tenure in the majors. Someone will likely take a chance on Hart, at which point he's someone to track. Until then, he's not worth a roster spot, even in deep draft and hold formats. Read Past Outlooks

Can't get out of first inning
PSan Diego Padres
April 6, 2025
Hart allowed five runs on two hits and four walks in just two-thirds of an inning Sunday against the Cubs. He did not factor into the decision.
ANALYSIS
Hart was staked to a three-run lead in the top half of the first inning, but that advantage quickly disappeared. He walked four Cubs and didn't make it out of the frame. Hart's day finished with the bases loaded and the game tied at 3-3, and he was charged two more runs on two balks by Logan Gillaspie. It was a step in the wrong direction after Hart earned a win in his MLB debut. He'll look to bounce back in a home start versus the Rockies next weekend.
