2024 Fantasy Outlook
Atlanta gave Schwellenbach $1 million after drafting him out of Nebraska in the second round in 2021 and he had Tommy John surgery right after the draft. He put up good numbers in 2023 as a 23-year-old in the lower levels, but his stuff ticked up in 2024, with his fastball going from a 93-94 mph pitch to a 95-96 mph offering. He generated groundballs over 55 percent of the time at High-A and Double-A and was surprisingly summoned to the big-league rotation after just two starts at Double-A. There's nothing about Schwellenbach's arsenal or command that would cap his short-term potential, but even as an older prospect, it's quite the jump in competition to the majors after logging only 13 innings above High-A, so there could be some understandable bumps in the road.

Receiving another start
Schwellenbach is scheduled to start Wednesday's game against the Red Sox at Fenway Park.
ANALYSIS
The 24-year-old right-hander will be making his first career road start after he worked five innings and gave up three runs while taking a loss to the Nationals at Truist Park in his MLB debut last Wednesday. While making the jump from Double-A Mississippi to the big leagues, Schwellenbach acquitted himself reasonably well, as he spotted 60 of his 88 pitches for strikes while striking out five and scattering five hits and one walk. Atlanta is likely to monitor the rookie's workload carefully, but with only 48 innings under his belt between the majors and minors this season, Schwellenbach still has plenty of time to establish himself as a mainstay in the big-league rotation before the organization would consider shutting him down.
