2025 Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Hoffman broke out as a full-time reliever over the last two seasons with Philadelphia, posting a remarkable 2.28 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 158:35 K:BB over 118.2 regular-season innings. These results are a stark contrast from his time as a starting pitcher, for which Hoffman has plenty of past experience, but owns a career 5.64 ERA and 1.55 WHIP across 237.2 innings. Despite this glaring differential in Hoffman's splits, the 2025 free-agent is being pursued by some teams as a starter. A change in Hoffman's role may force him to adjust his pitch mix, which has featured a devastating slider as his primary offering over the past two seasons. His fastball velocity could also be impacted, as Hoffman previously sat in the 93-to-94 mph range as a starter compared to the 96-to-97 mph range in recent seasons. Hoffman turns 32 in January and should be able to land a multi-year contract no matter which role is on tap for him in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Physical concerns nixed two deals
Atlanta had a contract in place with Hoffman that fell apart after he failed a physical, Mark Bowman of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Robert Murray of FanSided.com also reported previously that the Orioles had a three-year, $40 million deal in place with Hoffman that was nixed due to concerns over his right shoulder. It's not clear whether it was the shoulder which caused Hoffman's potential contract with Atlanta to fall apart, but it's a safe assumption. The righty has had two shoulder-related injured list stints during his career but has not experienced any known shoulder problems since 2021. Hoffman ultimately reached a three-year, $33 million deal with the Blue Jays which could get up to $39 million through incentives. He's slated to serve as Toronto's closer, but with Hoffman having a health red flag, fantasy managers might want to consider Yimi Garcia and/or Chad Green as a handcuff.

Hoffman spent spring training with the Twins organization, but was granted his release after failing to make their Opening Day roster. A few days later, he signed a minor-league contract with Philadelphia, with whom he'd spend the next month in Triple-A before he was promoted to the active roster in early May. The 30-year-old worked out of the Phillies bullpen, flashing significantly improved velocity on all three of his pitches. He saw the biggest spike on his slider, averaging 87.8 mph on the pitch compared to 81.2 mph in 2022. Hoffman saw excellent results on the pitch (.074 BA, 44.6% whiff) and used it as his primary offering for the first time in his career over his now upper-90's fastball (97.1 mph average). Hoffman finished the year with a career-high 33.2% strikeout rate alongside career-best ratios (2.41 ERA, 0.92 WHIP), while many of his Statcast metrics were in the 95th percentile or better. It's clear his future is as a reliever.
