Anderson has been called 'arguably the most dominant pitcher in professional baseball this season' by CBS Sports — in the minors, where he's posted a 1.36 ERA, 0.69 WHIP, and 37.5% K-BB% across 72.2 innings. He's not a sure-shot callup right now, but at roughly 8% Yahoo ownership, the cost of stashing him in an NA slot is zero. If Seattle needs rotation help in the second half and promotes him, you already own him. Monitor his prospect timeline weekly.

The 2025 third overall pick (LSU) is the best pitcher in professional baseball right now. Anderson owns a 1.22 ERA, 2.34 xFIP, and 99 K to just 9 BB in 66.2 innings at Double-A — leading all of minor league baseball in ERA, xFIP, K/BB, K-BB%, and WHIP. June alone: 0.79 ERA, 32 K, 3 BB in 22.2 innings. He has been named to the All-Star Futures Game and is expected to reach Triple-A Tacoma next, with a potential Seattle debut before season's end. His four-pitch mix (plus fastball, plus curveball, plus slider, changeup) projects to an immediate SP2 in the majors. Grab him in all redraft formats with a bench spot — the promotion is coming.
