"Gausman, who will be 35 in January, threw a career-high 193 innings during the 2025 regular season with a 3.59 ERA (119 ERA+) and 1.062 WHIP. His strikeout rate was up compared to the previous year, while his hits-per-nine allowed and walks were down. The right-hander also pitched the best postseason baseball of his career during the Blue Jays' magical World Series run. He went at least five-and-two-thirds innings in each of his five starts while never allowing more than three runs."
"His age won't deter teams from trying to sign him if the Blue Jays allow him to hit free agency , which they shouldn't. His fastball is still just as good as it's always been. Gausman averaged 94.5 mph on the pitch in 2025; it sat at 94.6 mph in 2023 when he finished third in American League Cy Young voting. His signature splitter, meanwhile, still generated whiffs 38.6% of the time."
Kevin Gausman is entering the final season of his contract with the Toronto Blue Jays and the front office should extend him for two to three years. He threw a career-high 193 innings in 2025 with a 3.59 ERA (119 ERA+) and 1.062 WHIP, and his strikeout rate rose while hits-per-nine and walks declined. He delivered his best postseason performance during the World Series run, completing at least 5 2/3 innings in each of five starts and never allowing more than three runs. His fastball averaged 94.5 mph and his splitter produced a 38.6% whiff rate. Teams adjusted to him, but he adapted and remained a dependable middle-rotation starter and strong clubhouse presence.
