2025 Fantasy Outlook
After spending several years pitching under self-imposed usage rules, Hader was more flexible with his usage after securing a five-year deal with Houston last offseason. In fact, he established a career-high with 71 appearances -- seven of which were multi-inning affairs -- while his 71 innings pitched were his most in a season since 2019. The southpaw tied for fifth in the league with 34 saves and his 79.1 percent team save share was eighth highest among closers. Hader permitted 12 home runs (fourth most among relief pitchers), but he was dominant otherwise. He led all relievers with 105 strikeouts and his 37.8 percent strikeout rate ranked third. Hader significantly improved his walk rate, which correlated with an improved 0.96 WHIP. His eight wins only improved his fantasy value. The veteran closer is one save away from 200 for his career and should be considered one of the top five closers in 2025 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
