2024 Fantasy Outlook
Musgrove failed in his attempt to pitch exactly 181 innings for a third consecutive season. In fact, he barely made it half way there as he worked 97 innings over 17 starts before succumbing to a shoulder injury in late July which ended his season. Other than his workload, Musgrove was essentially the same pitcher he had been in previous seasons with rather uncanny statistical stability. Despite the injury, he did post a double-digit win total for a fourth consecutive full season and is one of five starting pitchers with an ERA below 3.20 in each of the past three seasons joining Fried, deGrom, Woodruff, and Ohtani. Only Musgrove and Fried will pitch in 2024, and the hope is that Musgrove's shoulder is fully recovered so he can resume his statistical consistency as an unspectacular fantasy front liner. There is not another level up for him, but his profile is about as low-risk as they come for pitching. Read Past Outlooks

Stop me if you have heard this plot before: talented pitcher leaves Pittsburgh and finds the success which long evaded him in another organization. Java Joe Musgrove has enjoyed his homecoming to SoCal with consecutive strong seasons which are nearly identical across the statistical outcomes in every category. San Diego tweaked his repertoire to throw more cutters and work all corners of the strike zone as opposed to the preferred downward attack in Pittsburgh and Musgrove has done exceedingly well with this new approach despite below average starting pitcher velocity. Opponents hit below .230 against five of his six pitch offerings with only the sinker being hittable (Pittsburgh PTSD?) but it was used just seven percent of the time. He earned a win in a third of his 30 starts but delivered quality starts in 70% of his outings so perhaps there is more win fortune coming his way in 2023 because there is otherwise little variance in his production.
