Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2017
2016
Ponce was used in two different roles during a hectic 2020 campaign, starting three games for the Pirates while coming out of the bullpen in his other two appearances. Though the sample size was small, he proved that he's capable of excelling in either role, posting a 3.18 ERA and 1.06 WHIP with 12 punchouts over 17 frames. In his three starts, the 26-year-old surrendered just four earned runs over 13.2 innings, fanning nine over that stretch. Ponce also finished the year with an impressive .163 BABIP and a .200 batting average against. He continues to prove that he's a talented hurler, and while he's in the mix to compete for a job in the starting rotation to kick off the 2021 campaign, a spot on the Opening Day roster is not a guarantee at this point.
