Tyler Anderson News
Los Angeles Angels starting pitcher Tyler Anderson had a decent final spring start in Monday's 5-4 Cactus League win over the Dodgers. Anderson pitched 5 1/3 innings, allowing two runs on four hits (including two home runs) and a walk with five strikeouts. The outing brought Anderson to a 1.35 ERA and 0.90 WHIP with nine strikeouts over 13 1/3 IP in three outings. The 33-year-old had a career season in 2022 with the Dodgers, going 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 19.5% strikeout rate in 178 2/3 IP. Despite this and his encouraging spring numbers, Anderson's current draft position is at about 270, so he is definitely worth a look at the end of fantasy drafts.
The Los Angeles Angels agreed with free-agent starting pitcher Tyler Anderson on a three-year, $40 million deal on Tuesday. Anderson will stay in town after spending 2022 with the Los Angeles Dodgers, where he had a career year. The 32-year-old veteran left-hander was an All-Star for the first time in his seven-year career while going 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.00 WHIP, 138 strikeouts and only 34 walks in 178 2/3 innings over 30 appearances (28 starts). Anderson turned down the $19.65 million qualifying offer from the Dodgers in order to test the open market after his strong season. He'll be a much-needed rotation addition for the Halos, but it remains to be seen if he can duplicate his strong 2022 campaign.
There's a good chance that the Los Angeles Dodgers will extend the $19.65 million qualifying offer to All-Star left-hander Tyler Anderson, according to sources. Not many people expected Anderson, 32, to have a breakout season in 2022, but he did. The veteran southpaw went 15-5 with a 2.57 ERA (3.31 FIP), a 1.00 WHIP, 138 strikeouts and 34 walks in 178 2/3 innings over 30 outings (28 starts). Entering the year, Anderson had a career 4.26 ERA. He was able to induce a ton of weak contact, which might have had to do with the fact that he threw his changeup 31.6 percent of the team compared to just 24.6 percent the previous season. If Anderson turns down the offer and signs elsewhere, the Dodgers would receive draft-pick compensation.

Starting pitcher Tyler Anderson had a career year with the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022 before signing as a free agent with the Los Angeles Angels. Over 28 starts, the right-hander posted a 2.57 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, and 19.5% strikeout rate with 15 victories. It was a surprising performance after Anderson pitched to a 4.62 ERA and 1.31 WHIP across his first six big league seasons. He did an excellent job limiting hard contact, with 98th-percentile average exit velocity and 91st-percentile barrel rate, but he's typically been good in that area. Anderson's also not a ground ball pitcher (41.1% career ground ball rate), had a .256 BABIP, and his HR/9 was 1.46 just a year ago before managing a career-low 0.71 mark in 2022. The 33-year-old works with a four-pitch mix; four-seamer, changeup, cutter, and sinker. Anderson upped the usage of his best pitch, his changeup, by 7% from the year before, as batters put up just a .223 xwOBA and a 37% whiff percentage this season. However, his fastball was his favorite offering but had batters whiffing just 18.6% and owned a .341 xwOBA. Anderson gets opponents to chase (33.4% and 35.3% chase rate in 2021 and 2022, respectively), but they don't miss much when they do, making contact 60.5% of the time this year. The Angels aren't the juggernaut like the Dodgers, so he won't win 15 games, especially if his ERA balloons. Fantasy managers are buying in on the late-career renaissance, but drafting Anderson at his ADP of 273 is too early for little strikeouts and increased ratios.
