Tyler Mahle

Mahle averaged 91.5 mph with his fastball today, which was down 1.1 mph from his first two starts and 0.5 mph from his 2025 average. It's also kind of odd that he's already walked seven batters in six innings this spring. Even though he pitched to a 2.18 ERA in his 16 starts for Texas last year, no one wanted to make a big bet on Mahle in the offseason, forcing him to settle on a one-year, $10 million deal with the Giants. He comes with too many question marks to be draft-worthy in mixed leagues right now.

Mahle worked around three walks in the contest. He averaged 92.7 mph with his fastball today after coming in at 92.6 mph last week in his spring debut. Both marks are better than the 92.0 mph he averaged with the Rangers last season.

Mahle was slowed by an illness last week, so he's a bit behind the rest of the Giants' starters right now. Fortunately, he has plenty of time with which to catch up. His 92.7-mph average on his fastball today was up 0.7 mph from last year, though well shy of the 94.0 mph he averaged in his best season with the Reds in 2021.
