DVR and Al look back (and a little bit ahead) on the 2022 seasons produced by rookie pitchers. They focus on Spencer Strider, George Kirby and Shane Baz as starters who could be fantasy aces in the near future, and they also look at some rookie starters who made strong cases for their fantasy draft status in 2023, including Reid Detmers and Nick Lodolo. DVR and Al also try to make sense of mixed seasons from McKenzie Gore, Aaron Ashby and others, and they discuss rookie relievers, such as Félix Bautista, Jhoan Duran and Andrés Muñoz, who could make an even bigger impact next season.
