2023 Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Durability continues to be Graterol's biggest issue with two more trips to the injured list in 2022. First, a right shoulder injury sidelined him for over a month, followed by right elbow inflammation that forced Graterol to miss three more weeks in September. Despite the setbacks, the 24-year-old managed to log career-highs with 46 appearances and 49.2 innings. Graterol's strikeout (21.8%), walk (5.1%) and groundball (63.1%) rates improved and it looked like he was going to take over the Dodgers closer role before getting hurt. The right-hander added a cutter to his arsenal in 2021 and threw the pitch more last year, but his slider and 100-mph sinker continue to be his most effective weapons. Graterol has the upside of a dominant closer and figures to be in the mix for 2023 saves after tallying four last year. However, since we can't yet count on a full season from Graterol, try to temper your expectations. Read Past Outlooks

Overall
Collects fourth save
Graterol struck out one in a perfect inning to earn the save in Saturday's 6-4 win over the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
Graterol struggled in his last appearance, which came as an opener Thursday versus the Padres. He allowed two runs on three hits in one inning in that outing, but he looked much more comfortable back in his usual high-leverage role Saturday. The save was his fourth of the season and his first since July 10. The 24-year-old right-hander now has a 3.14 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 43:10 K:BB while adding 10 holds, a blown save and a 2-3 record through 48.2 innings this season. The Dodgers' ninth-inning usage is a full-blown committee at this point, so it's unclear who might operate as the closer in the postseason.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Graterol threw 523 pitches last season and nearly 32% of them - 166 to be exact - had a pitch velocity in triple digts. While his 100-mph sinker ranked in the 100th percentile for velocity, the pitch did not exactly blow opposing hitters away. It produced just a 13.9% whiff percentage and .289 BA compared to 30.9% clip and .167 BA on his slider. Graterol's modest 18.0% strikeout rate is not what you'd expect from a pitcher with this kind of heat, but he made up for his lack of strikeouts with a 58.3% groundball rate and 0.5 HR/9. The 23-year-old did spend time on the IL last season with a forearm injury that limited him to just 33.1 innings, most of which came in middle relief. He's likely ticketed for the same role in 2022 unless the Dodgers fail to sign or trade for any relievers this offseason. In that scenario, Graterol would ascend the high-leverage ladder and potentially see some save chances.
