Brady Singer DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Brady Singer (4-0) was stellar on Wednesday, tossing six innings of two-run ball in a 5-2 win over the Miami Marlins. Singer allowed four hits, walked none, and struck out eight, picking up his fourth win of the season. Overall, he now owns a 3.62 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts in 27 IP. Although it was a good outing, it should be noted that the Marlins have already made many pitchers look like studs this season. The 28-year-old is a solid option in fantasy leagues and should be rostered, but isn't a must-start and should be a matchup-dependent play in standard-sized leagues. Singer will look to improve to (5-0) in his next scheduled start on Tuesday, at home against the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cincinnati Reds right-hander Brady Singer threw a gem in a 14-3 win over the Texas Rangers on Monday. Singer tossed seven shutout innings while allowing just one hit, striking out eight, and walking two. It was exactly the type of debut Singer could have hoped for in his first start for the Reds after he was traded from the Kansas City Royals in the offseason. Singer turned in his best season in the big leagues in 2024, posting a 9-13 record, 3.71 ERA, and 170 strikeouts over 179 2/3 innings of work and is looking to keep it going as he is off to a fast start in the 2025 season. Singer is slated to face off against the Milwaukee Brewers on the road on Saturday in his next start.

The Kansas City Royals are trading right-handed pitcher Brady Singer to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for second baseman Jonathan India, according to Jesse Rogers of ESPN. The 28-year-old spent each of his first five professional seasons with the Kansas City Royals and held an overall 4.28 ERA and a 1.33 WHIP across 685 1/3 innings of work. Last summer, the former first-round pick held a 3.71 ERA and 1.27 WHIP across 179 2/3 innings. Singer generated a solid 48.3% ground-ball rate but struggled to limit hard contact as he held a 41.7% hard-hit rate and an 8.0% barrel rate, both below the average marks. Fantasy managers should expect Singer to have a spot in the rotation to begin the season and be viewed as a depth starting pitching option in deeper formats.
