Dalton Rogers Fantasy Stats

Boston Red Sox pitching prospect Dalton Rogers was a third-round pick in 2022, selected at No. 99 overall. He excelled as a reliever while pitching for Southern Mississippi, and Boston signed him for well under slot value with the intention of shifting him to a rotation role. The left-hander's best pitch is undoubtedly his fastball, which features impressive run and registers on radar guns in the mid-90s. He also has a low-80s slider and changeup, and although both play well off his dominant fastball, neither are very effective offerings at the moment. If he has any chance of remaining a starter for several years to come, he'll need to develop either his slider or changeup (or both) into a reliable secondary pitch. Otherwise, he'll likely have to shift back to the bullpen, which is a fine option for Boston long-term but doesn't give him much relevance from a fantasy baseball point of view. This past week was certainly memorable for Rogers, who tossed a gem against Greensboro. During his outing last Wednesday, he delivered six shutout innings, allowing zero hits and just one walk. Most notably, he missed bats and baffled opposing batters, finishing the day with a whopping 11 strikeouts.
