JR Ritchie | Fantasy Outlook

Ritchie's electric arm offers upside for the first-place Braves, though his current role remains fluid

Ritchie has been solid since his most recent recall, posting a 2.90 ERA and a 1.29 WHIP over 6.2 innings in the last 14 days. The first-place Braves, currently 57-41, have utilized the 23-year-old righty in a multi-inning relief capacity following a wave of rotation injuries to veterans like Martín Pérez. While he is currently slated as a back-end starter in the rotation, his recent work in the bullpen indicates the team is easing him into big-league action rather than handing him a full workload immediately.

While his recent ERA is encouraging, a look under the hood reveals some underlying concerns regarding his career 1.44 WHIP and 4.55 ERA. Our data suggests that his tendency to allow baserunners—highlighted by nine walks over his last 14.2 innings—makes him a ratio risk in standard formats despite his ability to miss bats at a rate of nearly one strikeout per inning. Until he improves his command to match his elite raw stuff, he remains a volatile fantasy asset best suited for dynasty formats or deep bench stashes.

The Braves have a full seven-game slate this week against the Padres and Orioles, but Ritchie is not currently scheduled to make a start. Atlanta's rotation looks set with Chris Sale and Reynaldo López taking the mound during home matchups against San Diego, leaving the young prospect in a long-relief role. Without a guaranteed turn in the rotation or significant strikeout volume from the bullpen, he lacks the immediate production needed to warrant a spot in active lineups. Sit.
