Randy Vásquez
#98 Active2026 Fantasy Baseball Player Profile
Randy Vásquez’s 2025 season was a statistical tightrope walk that saw him provide valuable volume for the Padres despite concerning underlying metrics. In 28 appearances (26 starts), Vásquez posted a respectable 3.84 ERA and a 1.32 WHIP over a career-high 133.2 innings. While his surface ERA was effective, it significantly outpaced his peripheral indicators (4.85 FIP and 5.43 SIERA), suggesting he benefited from a low .261 BABIP and a high 77% strand rate. The highlight of his year came on September 23, when he dismantled the Brewers with seven shutout, one-hit innings, solidifying his case for a permanent role in the 2026 rotation.
Entering 2026, the 27-year-old right-hander is at a critical juncture in his career. Because he is now out of minor league options, the Padres cannot send him to Triple-A El Paso without risking losing him on waivers—a factor that gives him a massive leverage advantage for a roster spot. Manager Craig Stammen has indicated that Vásquez currently has an "inside track" to break camp as the No. 4 or No. 5 starter, likely slotting in behind the veteran trio of Nick Pivetta, Michael King, and a healthy Joe Musgrove. To mitigate the risk of ERA regression, Vásquez spent the winter focusing on his six-pitch mix, specifically looking to optimize his high-spin curveball (98th percentile spin rate) to induce more whiffs.
For fantasy managers, Vásquez is a high-risk "streaming" option with an ADP around 392.

AVG, OBP, SLG, ERA and WHIP are season-to-date through each game, not that game alone — so the column reads as a trend and its last value is the season figure. They stay season-to-date when the log is filtered by opponent; the figure for the filtered games is the one in the Total row. The second game of a doubleheader is marked (2).
