2024 Fantasy Outlook
Almost everything pointed to Singer being able to take a big step forward in 2023, but he instead regressed to the tune of a career-worst 5.52 ERA. It would be reasonable on the surface to blame the arm fatigue that plagued him in the second half or the back strain that ended his season in mid-September, but he wasn't particularly good in the first half either. Singer is still young -- this will be his age-27 campaign -- but there is some worrisome data suggesting major-league hitters might have figured him out. Largely a two-pitch, sinker-slider type of hurler, he gave up an average exit velocity of 91 mph on batted balls last year, falling into the bottom-sixth percentile of all big-league pitchers in that measurement. He generates a lot of groundballs, but Singer will have to generate even more moving forward if he can't rework his arsenal and/or add an effective third pitch. Read Past Outlooks
Committed to four-seamer, sweeper
Singer plans to utilize a four-seam fastball and sweeper more often this season, Anne Rogers of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Singer began implementing the pitches a little late last season after some initial hesitation. This season, though, he's committed to using them as integral parts of his repertoire, adding them to his sinker, gyro slider and changeup. All three swinging strikeouts he induced during his Cactus League debut Wednesday versus the Mariners came on the sweeper. Singer has predominantly been a two-pitch pitcher in his career (the sinker and slider) and has struggled to miss bats with consistency. Perhaps the four-seamer and sweeper will allow him to pile up more strikeouts.

2019
Singer will be an interesting project in 2023 as the talent is there, but he is an incomplete body of work. Most sinker/slider repertoires stick in the bullpen, yet Singer has started in 63 of his 66 games at the major league level with a 23% strikeout rate despite no true offspeed pitch. He did increase the usage of his changeup in 2022, but the pitch has no whiffiness whatsoever so it is more of a show-me pitch to lefties than an actual weapon. Oddly enough, righties had a higher average against him for a second consecutive season than lefties, but the lefties took him deep twice as frequently. Singer persevered despite the limitations with a 19% K-BB%, which is impressive given the limited repertoire and the perceived challenges in the Cal Eldred era of pitching coach. A new pitching coach could provide Singer with a better tertiary pitch and allow him to take another step forward this season.
