Will Warren DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren turned in a solid start in Tuesday's 5-2 win over the Rangers. Warren pitched 5 2/3 innings, allowing no runs on five hits and a walk with a season-high 10 strikeouts. The 25-year-old has had a good season overall through his first 10 starts, going 3-2 with a 4.05 ERA, a 1.29 WHIP, and an 11.57 K/9 rate in 46 2/3 IP. His next start will be a favorable matchup against a weak Rockies lineup, but he will have to face them in Coors Field. He has allowed hard contact this season but has done a good job keeping the ball on the ground, so he would be a safer start in points leagues.

New York Yankees starting pitcher Will Warren lasted a season-high 7 1/3 innings in Friday's 10-2 victory over the Athletics, allowing just one run on four hits and a walk while striking out seven batters on the way to earning his second win of the season. The 25-year-old hadn't pitched more than five innings in any of his previous seven turns through the rotation, so this was also his first quality start of the year as well. Now the owner of a 4.75 ERA (3.34 xFIP), 1.36 WHIP, and a 15.8 percent K-BB%, the righty will take on Seattle on the road in his next start, a team that has been surprisingly good on offense this season (sixth-most runs per game), so unless you're in desperate need of strikeouts, Warren may be best left on the bench or waiver wire next week.

New York Yankees pitching prospect Will Warren struggled during his loss to the Baltimore Orioles on Monday evening. The right-hander logged just three 1/3 innings of work and allowed six hits and four runs. He served up two walks and struck out five batters. Warren was able to earn a spot on the Opening Day roster but has struggled at times during his first extended look in the major leagues. Through his first 24 innings of the campaign (six starts), the 25-year-old has held a 5.63 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP. During this stint, he has struck out 26 batters and served up 12 free passes. Under the hood, he has placed in the 30th percentile and 26th percentile in xERA and xBA, which suggests he may continue to see inconsistent results. As a result, he should only be targeted in 15-team formats for his strikeout upside.
