Equalization: 04/20/2025 | Pitcher list

We end our third week of light on new destinations for persecution of parades on the wire. For those among them who missed my articles from the first week and the second week, the recommendations there have mostly nicely stopped – the italics there with a friendly approval from Porter Hodge – Check them.

Apart from that, there were still many important Bullpen developments this week, including a few old friends, a key injury and another blowup from a former best RP in baseball.

So I switch on the usual format a bit – not for the last time – for the last time. all Excessively available jugs for these ubiquitous parades, while they are still closer to new options for Holds leagues.

(Statistics updated by Saturday 4/19)

Saved

50-75%-Rodered (Yahoo)

Justin Martinez (Ari) (73%)

I had written this about the dynamic duo of Martinez and the dynamic duo of the diamondbacks and AJ PUKBut PUK met the IL on Saturday with elbow inflammation (sip). Despite its high, high percentage, it is worth lifting Martinez here, since he should now have the full proportion of the arizona parades, at least up to Kevin Ginkel Return from his own stay to a few Vulture.

José Alvarado (Phi) (72%)

As a fighting Jordan Romano is done aside, Alvarado is the clear closer to the Phillies (let’s say that five times fast), with Orion Kerkering Orion lurking when he stumbles.

Luke Jackson (Tex) (61%)

Despite a coarse opener, I presented Jackson as a top pickup a week as a top pickup. Since this first excursion, he has achieved six parades without allowing a deserved run. I expected Jackson’s bold percentage to climb faster, but these things sometimes move slowly.

<50%-rodered

Emilio Pagán (cin) (37%)

Pagán I nod here last week. Alexis Díaz has now returned from the IL, although he continued to fight three appearances with a lower leval with his command. It’s quiet PagánThe task of losing in Cincinnati until it is different.

Luke Weaver (Nyy) (28%)

This breeze they were feeling were Yankees fans who clapped in clapping. I’m not sure if I’m ready to dethones Devin Williamsthe borderline blasphemy around these parts. Nevertheless, I was forced to improve Weaver from the honorable mention to the status after a further collapse of Williams on Saturday and to achieve a lead of four runs in the ninth against Tampa. Perhaps manager Aaron Boone will make the move sooner than later, I can’t say safely. But Weaver is undeniably the best reliever of the Yankees with Mark Head of Jr. Close closely behind.

Tommy Kahnle (det) (24%)

I recommended Kahnle in the first week, although I described the tiger’s Bullpen situation as “liquid”. Since then, things have solidified and Kahnle, who was great, turned out to be a man in Detroit. If Weaver does not actually deserve an action, Kahnle is the most subjected jug on this list (He said that thing!).

Dennis Santana (pit) (18%)

Santana probably shared his place Ryan BoruckiBut Borucki blew a few saves chances and was initially not a big roadblock. However, the competition stiffens considerably with the return of David Bednarwho dominated in his short stay in Aaa and returned to the Bigs on Saturday. Bednar got ninth place in a 3-0 defeat against the guards and allowed two Baserunner, but also two. It remains to be seen what the plan is here when Bednar has rediscovered its shape, but the job is still Santana for the time being.

You have a way: David Bednar (PIT)Present Calvin Faucher (Mia), Anthony Bender (Mia), Abner Uribe (Mil), Lucas Erceeg (KC)
High-end vulture: Blake Trine (BOY), Justin Slaten (Bos), Camilo Doval (SF), Will vest (Det), Robert Garcia (Tex)
The watch list: Liam Hendriks (Bos)

Holds

Brendon Little (gate) (4%)

In addition to a praise in the first week of the first week, I am admittedly a “little one” late to the party here.

The puns are plentiful, but Brendon little was simply illuminated in the back of the Jay’s Bullpen as the top left -hander in the group. After a below -average rookie campaign in 2024, the first 12 appearances from Little achieved six holds and a whopping 17 strikes in 10 inner sings in 2025, which are good for a price of 41.5%.

So what’s up here? Well, he is no longer a beginner for you. A little deeper into his arsenal digs and saves a few fast balls, each of which is marked by 93 miles per hour as a sink and cutter. But it is the real breaking pitch, its ankle curve that distinguishes him. It is a small sample, but its use has increased from 32% to 42% in the year, a number that should only rise higher if it achieves 15 of Little’s 17 strikeouts. We may look at one of the better Put-away Parking spaces in the entire baseball. And he had written most of it before I saw that he had deleted the Mariners on Saturday while he had thrown this ankle curve for 12 of his 18 parking spaces, including all three Julio Rodríguez.

In view of its advantageous context as the best south paw of a decent team, little should be a real jewel in all holds, points and k/9 miles.

Jared Koenig (MIL) (3%)

A SprP darling, Jared Koenig In 2024 I flew somewhat under the radar as a working animal for the crew. Koenig as an opener, middle reliever and high-quality man was a fantasy assets as well as a non-fiction books. He put together nine victories, 10 holds and a rescue, all with an ERA of 2.47 and 1.24 whip.

In 2025 Koenig skipped the boring stuff and jumped directly into the fire. His eleven appearances have achieved a win and three holds, which were again accompanied with excellent conditions (an ERA of 1.74 and 0.68 whip, this time). Koenig is only closer in the Milwaukee Bullpen Trevor Megill and Setup man Abner Uribe. The possibilities should continue to be stacked.

Take Koenig off now and put it in this SP slot, then look back in five months and see what it has brought you. You won’t be disappointed.

Tyler Ferguson (ATH) (1%)

He returned to me to make sure that I had wrongly tagged someone with “(OAK)” last week.

Rather a pure game than one who approaches everything that approaches elite relationships or strikes. Tyler Ferguson It shows itself as a particularly low type because he is the top setup man of his team. As such, he mainly benefited due to the fact that the … sacramento? A could actually … somehow be lively? But what she has in Spark (and an actually decent crime) that lacks a deficiency in relief pitching of the A on our watchlist below for similar reasons. So there is not much reason to assume that Ferguson should not continue to be closer to the top dog behind Mason Miller.

This is also a bit more context-dependent in the league, but I like to mention Ferguson here as a holding battery, which she will probably not injure it too badly in any other department.

The watch list: Jack Dreyer (BOY), Randy Rodríguez (SF), Max Kranick (Nym), Jalen Beeks (Ari), Justin Sterner (OAK), um, (ath)
IL/NA Stash: Matt Brash (SEA)Kevin Ginkel (Ari) / Dedniel Núñez (Nym), Craig Yoho (Mil)
Sprps: Louis Varland (Min)Present Shawn Armstrong (Tex)
