Austin Warren DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The New York Mets have assigned first baseman Jared Young and right-handed pitcher Austin Warren to Triple-A Syracuse on Sunday. Young signed an MLB contract with the Mets earlier in the offseason. However, he will begin his 2025 season in the minor leagues. Last season, Young spent his entire campaign playing for Triple-A Memphis. Across 74 contests, Young posted a .285/.411/.506 slash line with 15 and 11 round-trippers. He last appeared in the major league during the 2023 season with the Chicago Cubs. Warren was claimed off waivers by the Mets during the winter. Last summer, Warren logged 10 2/3 innings in the majors with the Giants. He held a 1.69 ERA with a 1.31 WHIP. Across 23 frames at Triple-A, Warren held a 4.70 ERA with a 1.22 WHIP. Both players will be used as depth options for the Mets throughout the 2025 season.

According to Justice De Los Santos of the Mercury News, the New York Mets have claimed right-handed pitcher Austin Warren off waivers from the San Francisco Giants. Over the past four seasons, Warren has logged 48 2/3 innings of work in the majors and held a 3.14 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. He has struck out 38 batters and held a high 11.8% walk rate. However, he did well limiting hard contact at a strong 26.7% and generating ground balls at an elite 53.3% rate. Across 100 1/3 career frames at Triple-A, he has held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Fantasy managers should monitor his progress during spring training, as he will likely compete for a spot in the bullpen. However, given his limited track record in the majors, he will likely open the campaign at the Triple-A level.

According to Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area, the San Francisco Giants have designated right-handed pitcher Austin Warren for assignment. This transaction opened a roster spot for catcher Sam Huff. Warren spent the first three seasons of his big league career with the Los Angeles Angels and joined San Francisco last summer. Across his brief ten-inning stint with San Francisco, Warren held a 1.69 ERA and a 1.31 WHIP. Over 48 2/3 major league innings, the reliever has posted a 3.14 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP. In 23 innings with Triple-A Sacramento last summer, Warren held a 4.70 ERA and a 1.22 WHIP. Since Warren has been able to hold his own in the majors, he will likely ink a new contract with a new club before spring training.
