2017 Fantasy Outlook
Zastryzny spent much of 2016 in the minors before emerging as a fairly reliable long-relief and lefty specialist during the Cubs' playoff push. He made his debut on Aug. 19 and would go on to post a 1.13 ERA in 11 appearances while also making Chicago’s NLDS and NLCS roster. Zastryzny had fairly extreme platoon splits, as lefties only hit for a .138 BA against him while righties hit .276. Righties also slugged .310 versus Zastryzny while lefties only slugged .138. While his impressive 2016 numbers will likely regress somewhat with a larger sample size, Zastryzny appears to have solidified a role in Chicago's pen next year. In addition to being a lefty-specialist, he also has long-relief capability and while Mike Montgomery will likely get the first crack at filling in Jason Hammel's spot in the rotation, the 24-year-old will also get a chance in spring training to make his case to be the Cubs' fifth starter.
