2023 Fantasy Outlook
McGough, now 33, makes his return stateside with Arizona this season after a successful four-year stint in Japan. A fifth-round pick back in 2011, McGough had a cup of coffee with the Marlins in 2015 before ultimately leaving affiliated baseball. He found his niche overseas and transformed into one of Japan's top closers, notching 30-plus saves with sub-2.60 ERAs the past two seasons. The right-hander sits in the mid-90s with his fastball and has recently developed a splitter to complement his heater and slider. The Diamondbacks signed him to a two-year, $6.25 million deal with the hope that he can provide some stability at the back end of a mostly unsettled bullpen. A strong showing in the Cactus League has put McGough as the frontrunner to close in the desert. Read Past Outlooks
