2024 Fantasy Outlook
There were a lot of other factors at play, many of them more attention-grabbing, but Kremer's second-half surge last year certainly aided the Orioles in their surprise push to the American League East title. He had a 5.04 ERA as of the end of June, but went on to register a 3.09 ERA with 75 strikeouts over his final 81.2 regular-season innings, and the O's went 13-2 across his final 15 starts. Kremer began utilizing his cutter more often, and in doing so saw a spike in groundballs along with less and less hard contact from opposing hitters. The overall numbers don't jump off the page -- Kremer owns a career 4.35 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 7.6 K/9 in 370.1 major-league innings -- but that should only serve to make him a value pick in fantasy drafts this spring. Just keep those cutters coming. Read Past Outlooks
Cruises to eighth win
Kremer (8-10) earned the win Tuesday versus the Yankees, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
The Baltimore right-hander controlled a vaunted New York lineup at Yankee Stadium over 83 pitches to clinch a playoff spot for the Orioles. The lone blemish on Kremer's evening came in the fourth when he allowed a solo homer to Aaron Judge. With this performance, Kremer lowered his second-half ERA from 3.98 to 3.81 to go with a 1.27 WHIP and 59:26 K:BB across 61 innings. He is currently projected to make his final start of the regular season against the Twins in Minnesota this weekend.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2020
Kremer arrived seemingly for good in the majors last year, logging 22 games (21 starts) for the Orioles. He wasn't expected to do much, but he ended up being a serviceable starter with a 3.23 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 87:34 K:BB across 125.1 innings. Kremer boasts a five-pitch arsenal after adding a sinker to his repertoire, though he primarily relies on his four-seamer and cutter, which accounted for nearly two thirds of his pitches in 2022. His curveball was a bit more effective -- he racked up a 31.4 percent whiff rate with it, but opposing hitters also tagged him for a .527 slugging percentage on the pitch. Kremer should again be a lock as a middle-of-the-rotation starter this season, though the Orioles' ongoing youth movement could see him face challenges from top prospects Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall. His lack of one dominant put-away pitch and fairly low strikeout rate in the majors (18.6 percent in his career) make Kremer more of a late-round flier in fantasy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Strong early returns on splitter
Kremer has dropped his changeup in favor of a splitter this season to strong early results, per Jon Meoli of The Baltimore Banner.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander is utilizing the new pitch at a 13.7 percent clip and has a 31 percent whiff rate on 62 offerings, with hitters going just 1-for-15 against it. Kremer's 4.61 ERA through five starts isn't pretty, but his 1.06 WHIP and 27:6 K:BB paint a more optimistic picture, and he's allowed more than three runs in just one of his outings.
