2025 Fantasy Outlook
Estes opened the season with Triple-A Las Vegas. He was called up in early May, then spent the rest of the season in the bigs. He experienced the ups and downs of most rookie hurlers, finishing with a 5.01 ERA, corroborated by his 5.29 xFIP and 5.04 SIERA. Estes 5.0 percent walk rate was excellent, but his 16.9 percent strikeout rate was the sixth lowest among pitchers tossing at least 120 innings. Home runs were a bigger problem. Estes flyball rate was 55.5 percent, so even with a below average 10.1 percent HR/FB mark, Estes 1.62 HR/9 was sixth highest among pitchers compiling 120 frames. Easier said than done, but perhaps a change in pitch would help induce more grounders and swinging strikes. Based on his pitch performance, lowering his 51.7 percent four seam usage while upping his 33.2 percent slider deployment could be the elixir. For now, Estes is a risky streamer with a low strikeout rate. Read Past Outlooks
Solid showing in final start
Estes did not factor into the decision in the Athletics' extra-inning loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing three earned runs on five hits and two walks over five innings. He struck out two and also hit a batter.
ANALYSIS
Estes put together a serviceable performance to wrap up his 2024 campaign, bouncing back from back-to-back outings in which he surrendered a combined 11 runs on 16 hits and a walk over five innings. The right-hander allowed one ball to leave the yard Saturday -- a fourth-inning solo home run by Cal Raleigh -- while also yielding a two-run single to Josh Rojas in the same frame. After getting his first taste of the big leagues in 2023 via a pair of starts, Estes worked to a 7-9 record, 5.01 ERA and 1.23 WHIP across 127.2 innings over 25 appearances (24 starts) this season, tossing a shutout along the way.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Estes was traded to Oakland in the Matt Olson trade before the 2022 season, and he's gone from 16th round pick back in 2019 to a player that made two starts for the A's in 2023 that has a chance to win a spot in the A's rotation to start 2024. The 22-year-old can get his fastball up to 96 mph, and he complements that heater with a slider that gets above-average grades along with a change that continues to make progress. He generally throws strikes with all three pitches, but his command is slightly behind his control. Estes is a name to monitor in the coming years in dynasty leagues, but there's very little chance of him being a viable fantasy option in 2024 even if he does earn a starting gig.
