Dustin May came out the gate hot to start the 2025 season, when his first three starts on the year yielded a 1.06 ERA in 17 innings. He needed it, too; after years spent battling injuries, including a really weird off-the-field incident that led to a torn esophagus last year, and surgeries that led to shortened seasons. He had never pitched more than 56 innings in a season, but he started this year healthy and got an earnest shot at breaking through that ceiling for the first time since 2023.
