2023 Fantasy Outlook
Graveman's 2021 velocity spike carried over into last season, but his sinker wasn't as effective as the year before. The pitch still induced plenty of grounders (54%), but opposing hitters squared up on it to a .313 BA. As a result, Graveman threw nearly 20% fewer sinkers, opting for more sliders and changeups. Batters still produced a .324 BABIP, which made Graveman's WHIP climb from 0.98 to 1.40. His K-rate (23.2%) also dropped a few percentage points despite a slight uptick in his swinging strike rate (11.7%). The 32-year-old still had a solid season for the White Sox, leading the AL with 27 holds while adding three wins and six saves in support of closer Liam Hendriks. Not only does 2021 look like an outlier, Graveman has spent time on the IL in each the past four seasons. However, he may now enter 2023 as Chicago's top option for saves since Liam Hendriks' availability is in question after being diagnosed and undergoing treatment for Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.
