Hunter Harvey

To no one's surprise, Harvey once again spent time on the injured list in 2023. Fortunately, he only missed about 4 weeks with a right elbow strain and his health prevailed otherwise. In fact, Harvey turned in his finest season to date with career-high marks across multiple categories, including games played (57), innings (60.2), strikeouts (67), wins (4) and a team-leading 19 holds. His 0.94 WHIP was 7th-best among qualified relievers and he even got a chance to prove himself in the 9th inning with 10 saves. Statistically speaking, the 29-year-old was Washington's best reliever. His 98.3 mph fastball was still the star of his arsenal, but Harvey implemented a slider (14% usage) last season that was particularly effective against right-handed batters (.087 BAA). Health and performance permitting, Harvey has a chance to be called for more save chances in 2024 with Washington looking to take another step forward. Read Past Outlooks
