2025 Fantasy Outlook
Matsui was expected to compete for the Padres' closer role in 2024, but with Robert Suarez locking down that job, the left-hander was relegated to middle relief. After striking out 12 batters per nine innings during his 10-year career in Japan, Matsui's K-rate dipped after moving to the States. His 26.8 percent strikeout rate was still above league average, but Matsui's 10.5 percent walk rate likely prevented possible ascension to higher-leverage work. However, the 29-year-old racked up 236 career saves overseas and his vast experience closing games may still open the door for a greater role within the Padres bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
