2023 Player Outlook

Coming off a season where he finished fifth in AL Cy Young voting, Valdez becomes Houston's SP1 with Justin Verlander leaving for the New York Mets. Valdez went 17-6 with over 200 innings of work to earn himself a raise heading into 2023 after avoiding arbitration. Assuming he stays healthy, he should be good for 15+ wins, a sub-3.00 ERA, and at least 180 strikeouts.
