Fantasy Baseball SP Sleepers 2023: Top breakouts and picks explored

Fantasy baseball as well as Opening Day 2023 is upon us. The one thing common between both fantasy and real-life baseball is the importance of good pitchers.

While the best options will inevitably be drafted very early, players need to come up with shrewd options to prevent dropoffs in any category. Here are 3 top Starting Pitcher Sleeper options for Fantasy Baseball:

Edward Cabrera

Possessing one of the most potent changeups in baseball, the Miami Marlins' Edward Cabrera could be a very smart SP pick. He is coming off the back of solid Spring Training, striking out Team USA WBC players Nolan Arenado and Paul Goldschmidt in a game against the St. Louis Cardinals. He ended the game with a 1-0 lead after pitching 5 1⁄3 innings. Cabrera is raring to start the new season, and this might just be his year.

Jared Schuster

With Kyle Wright failing to recover from his shoulder injury ahead of Opening Day 2023, the window has opened for the Atlanta Braves' Jared Schuster to prove his mettle in the big leagues.

The reactions of Braves fans on social media after Wright's IL announcement were enough to gauge how highly he is rated. With an impressive 2023 Spring Training behind him, Fantasy Baseball players could do a lot worse than Schuster.

Kodai Senga

The New York Mets' latest addition has already got everyone talking about his signature pitch, dubbed the "Ghost Fork".

Barring a short adaptation period, it is difficult to see why the experienced Japanese campaigner cannot come good in his first season at MLB.
