Zac Gallen

It was a struggle for Gallen today, as he threw just 24 of his 52 pitches for strikes. His velocity was also down about two mph from usual, so maybe this is his dead arm phase. He had pitched three scoreless innings over his previous two spring starts.

Gallen worked around two hits and didn't walk anyone. The right-hander has given up just one run over his three innings thus far in the Cactus League, and should remain a strong fantasy option in 2025, even if he's no longer the ace of the Diamondbacks.

Gallen struck out Angel Martinez and got Brayan Rocchio to ground out before serving up a one-out solo shot to Gabriel Arias and striking out Jhonkensy Noel to end his lone frame of work. The 29-year-old right-hander's velocity was down slightly, which isn't totally unexpected at this early stage of camp, as he averaged just 90.6 mph on his fastball in this one. He lacks the strikeout upside to return to upper-echelon status, but Gallen remains a top-40 range starting pitcher this spring for fantasy purposes.
