Overview

  • Tanner Bibee will start for the Cleveland Guardians on Opening Day, March 27, 2025, against the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium.
  • This marks a transition in the Guardians' pitching leadership, as Bibee becomes the first Opening Day starter since 2014 not named Corey Kluber or Shane Bieber.
  • Bibee posted a standout 2024 season with a 12-8 record, 3.47 ERA, and 187 strikeouts in 31 starts, stepping up after Bieber's injury.
  • During 2025 spring training, Bibee has not allowed a run in nine Cactus League innings, solidifying his position as the team's ace.
  • The Guardians' starting rotation beyond Bibee remains undecided, with several pitchers, including Gavin Williams and Logan Allen, competing for the remaining spots.
