Last 3 starts: 2 K (3.0 IP vs NYM), 6 K (5.0 IP vs PIT), 2 K (6.1 IP vs ATL) — average 3.3 Ks, two of three well under 4.5. Full 2025 season: 97 K in 118.0 IP (7.39 K/9) is solid but his late-season inconsistency is pronounced. Season opener typically comes with pitch-count restrictions (likely 75-85 pitches), capping his K ceiling. Cold weather in the low 40s further suppresses swing-and-miss. WSH lineup is very young but Horton's pattern of short outings (3 of last 3 finishes under 6 IP) means limited K opportunities.
