Bryan Hoeing DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing (shoulder) is still not throwing. Hoeing is battling shoulder soreness and has yet to throw once during camp. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status during camp, but given that he has yet to throw, he may face an uphill battle to be cleared for Opening Day. Earlier in the offseason, it was reported that the team views Hoeing as a bullpen piece to begin the season. Last season, the 28-year-old posted a strong 2.18 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP across 53 2/3 innings. He tallied 43 punchouts and showed strong command with a 6.7 percent walk rate. However, he did generate a hefty 5.07 xERA and a .287 xBA, which suggests he could face some regression when he does return to the bump. Hoeing will not carry much fantasy value in a long relief role.

According to Dennis Lin of The Athletic, San Diego Padres right-handed pitcher Bryan Hoeing will begin the season pitching out of the bullpen. Last season, Hoeing spent time with the Marlins and the Padres. He was given two starts with Miami but was deployed exclusively out of the bullpen in San Diego. Across 53 2/3 innings of work, the 28-year-old held a solid 2.18 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP. Through 23 2/3 innings of relief in San Diego, Hoeing was very effective as he posted a 1.52 ERA with a 0.80 WHIP. During this stint, he struck out 18 batters and only served up five free passes. He was typically deployed in the sixth and seventh innings and was able to tally two holds. However, he did generate a high 5.07 xERA, suggesting he may face some regression during the 2025 season. Fantasy managers should expect Hoeing to continue to operate as a middle relief option and is not expected to see any save opportunities.

Miami Marlins right-hander Bryan Hoeing (hamstring) threw two scoreless innings in a minor-league rehab outing for Single-A Jupiter on June 14 and needed 36 pitches to record five outs on June 20. His next rehab outing will be for two innings on June 25. Hoeing previously threw 26 pitches in live batting practice in the cages due to poor weather on June 11. He felt mild tightness after starting his rehab assignment on May 21 with two innings with Triple-A Jacksonville. Hoeing said he first tweaked his hamstring during spring training but pitched through it. The 27-year-old was an effective reliever for the Marlins in his third big-league season in 2023, posting a 1.83 ERA and 0.91 WHIP with 16 strikeouts and five walks, albeit in just 19 2/3 innings over 11 appearances out of the bullpen. He also has starting experience, making eight starts the previous two seasons.
