2023 Fantasy Outlook
After signing a team-friendly, 4-year extension before the season, Munoz finally broke out in 2022, overcoming his biggest obstacle (health) to pitch a career-high 65 remarkable innings. The 24-year-old averaged 100.3 mph on his fastball and was in the 99th percentile or better in seven Statcast pitching metrics, including K%, whiff% and xERA/xWOBA. His 32.7% K-BB% was second-best among qualified relievers, while his 38.7% strikeout rate was fourth-best thanks to a slider that was among the best pitches in the league. Munoz limited baserunners (0.89 WHIP) to scale his way up Seattle's high leverage ladder, posting 22 holds while also getting a taste of closing with four saves. The Mariners have no financial reason to limit Munoz's save chances moving forward, so he could emerge as their primary closer in 2023. However, he must improve the effectiveness of his fastball (.338 BA, .500 SLG) and prove he's healthy after offseason foot surgery to take the next step. Read Past Outlooks

Strikes out two in return
Munoz (shoulder) struck out two in a perfect inning, earning a hold in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Munoz missed the better part of two months with a shoulder strain. He looked great in his return with a fastball that touched just over 100 mph and four whiffs on 16 pitches. Munoz has given up four hits and a walk while striking out five over 4.1 innings this season, and his usage Tuesday suggests he could immediately resume a high-leverage role. For now, Paul Sewald is the Mariners' preferred closer, but Munoz certainly has the stuff to potentially eke out his fair share of save chances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
Munoz, who missed the majority of the past two seasons after underdoing Tommy John surgery in March of 2020, walked two and struck out a batter over two-thirds of an inning during his lone appearance with the Mariners last year. The fact he was able to return was a surprise after he endured a setback in his recovery last March, but he was back on the mound in July and made substantial progress to return in October. The flamethrower didn't lose his velocity, as he topped 100-mph on his fastball during the outing, though his slider (82.2-mph) lost a few ticks on the radar gun and missed the plate on four of five pitches thrown. Munoz should be healthy entering 2022 and has upside worthy of a late-round flier for those speculating on saves. Just remember Seattle uses a closer committee and he may not get a ton of chances. Munoz is a riskier pick in draft-and-hold formats due to his limited innings potential.
