Sewald didn't make his season debut until May due to an oblique injury, but was outstanding upon his return, racking up 11 consecutive saves with a 0.54 ERA and 0.48 WHIP across his first 16.2 innings. However, the right-hander blew three consecutive save chances to open July and finished the month with a 10.80 ERA, which was enough for D'Backs manager Torey Lovullo to demote him from the closer role. Ultimately, the 2025 free-agent was unable to reclaim closing duties due to inconsistent performance and a neck injury that ended his season prematurely. After accumulating 81 saves over the past four seasons, Sewald will likely get the opportunity to compete for closing duties with whomever he signs. With a 400-plus ADP in early 2025 drafts, he's a solid CL3 target with 20-plus save upside. Once he signs, his draft stock will either rise or fall depending on the context of his team's bullpen.
