2025 Fantasy Outlook
It feels like Kochanowicz arrived in the major leagues about 40 years too late. Back in the 80s, a big, sturdy right-hander with good control, heavy ground ball tendencies and virtually zero swing and miss ability probably would have had a long career. In the modern game, his place is less certain, even after he managed to post a solid 3.99 ERA in 11 starts for the Angels in 2024 in spite of a microscopic 9.4 percent strikeout rate. Kochanowicz will be part of the rotation competition for the Angels in 2025 and might very well begin the season in the big leagues, but his profile gives him a very narrow path to fantasy viability.

Quick exit in no-decision
PLos Angeles Angels
June 29, 2025
Kochanowicz allowed two runs on five hits and two walks while striking out two over four-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Nationals on Sunday.
Analysis
Kochanowicz was pulled at 63 pitches (37 strikes) after running into trouble in the fourth and fifth innings. Interim manager Ray Montgomery has shown no hesitation to pull starters if they begin to fade in the middle innings -- since he took over managerial duties June 20 due to Ron Washington's health-related absence, only three of nine starting pitchers have exceeded 90 pitches. That shortens an already limited runway for Kochanowicz, who pitched into the sixth inning just once in six June starts. He allowed 18 runs over 25.2 innings while adding a 21:11 K:BB this month, so his outings are likely to continue being short unless he turns a corner with his performance. Overall, he has a 5.44 ERA, 1.56 WHIP and 61:40 K:BB through 86 innings over 17 starts this season. Kochanowicz's next start is expected to be in Toronto.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 120 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Secure in rotation?
PLos Angeles Angels
June 12, 2025
Manager Ron Washington said Sunday that there's been no conversations about removing Kochanowicz from the starting rotation, reports Sam Blum of The Athletic.
Analysis
That hardly means the right-hander's rotation spot is secure, but the Angels aren't entertaining a role change yet, at least publicly. Kochanowicz made his MLB debut last season and had a 3.99 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 25:10 K:BB across 65.1 innings, but he's struggled to a 5.61 ERA and 1.63 WHIP through 13 starts in 2025. He's given up exactly four runs in each of his past four outings, and Kochanowicz may need to turn the corner soon in order to stick in the rotation.
