March 11, 2022

As we head into primetime drafting season, I will be rereleasing my positional ranks. Here are my current ranks for starting pitchers for 2022, my third of the offseason. I will post updates as things change with signings, injuries, or news in Major League Baseball. On the Sleeper and the Bust Patreon, you can see the rankings updated live.

Thanks for the ranks–these are very helpful!

equistMember since 2017

Mize?

Reply to equist

I was looking for him, too. Clearly an oversight, no way Manning & Alexander should be on this list and not him.

Justin MasonFanGraphs Staff

It’s an oversight. I will fix that. Don’t know how he got deleted

Thank goodness I spent 15 minutes staring at the rankings saying “he definitely isn’t worse than Manning” 😂

SeadogMember since 2019

I’m curious about Sale: if he comes out in spring training throwing 95+, hitting spots, and able to throw the change as an at all meaningful 3rd pitch, how fast does he climb?

ArmadilloFury

Are you buying the report that Rodon’s medicals are “actually very good”? If true, he’s awfully tempting at that ADP

Reply to ArmadilloFury

I’m still a bit worried considering his history. He will rise in my ranks after signing in SF but not as high as he will in drafts

EyebrowsMember since 2020

Rodon just signed with SF. Have to imagine this moves him up in the rankings, but how much?

Reply to Eyebrows

I put him at 37 after the signing

bubbamoo

Thanks for the ranks. Any insight on why you are a bit bearish on Morton? Too many innings last season?

Reply to bubbamoo

Ended the year hurt. Will rise once we see him pitch

pedeysRSox

Some notes: Hill, Nick Martinez, Paxton, Straily are still listed as free agents here. Thompson, Lorenzen is listed on the wrong team. Yusei Kikuchi, Matthew Boyd,Carlos Martinez are both listed with their former teams despite their free agency. Also where would Drew VerHagen be ranked on this list?

Why do you hate Casey Mize?

LightenUpFGMember since 2018

Stephen Strasburg is missing too. He said recently that he won’t be ready to start the season, though I wonder if he’d still be worth a ranking somewhere given that he’s not gone the entire season (yet).
