Mackenzie Gore needs to show consistency to reach his ace ceiling

Like a lot of the Nationals team, Mackenzie Gore has shown flashes, but hasn’t put it all together yet. However, he is further along in his maturation process than a lot of the teams youngsters. In 2024, Gore posted a 3.90 ERA and 3.53 FIP in 166.1 innings. This makes him a productive MLB pitcher, but there is still so much more in the tank for the 25 year old.

Gore’s 3.53 FIP, which was top 20 among qualified pitchers shows that he can take a step even if he doesn’t make any improvements. However, I believe Gore can take a leap as a pitcher.
