2023 Fantasy Outlook
Coleman made 68 appearances during his first full season in the bigs, which was tied for the 14th-most among qualified relievers. The 26-year-old opened the year pitching in low-pressure spots for the Royals, but he ascended the leverage ladder and was one of Kansas City's primary setup men by mid-summer. Coleman mixes only two pitches - a 97.5 mph fastball (57% usage) and slider (42%) that yielded 71 strikeouts across his 68 innings for a 24.6% strikeout rate that was slightly above league average. However, the right-hander walked nearly five batters per nine innings, which was 8th-worst among relievers and will need to improve in 2023 to remain in a higher-leverage role. However, there is room for growth, and if Coleman pitches well this season, saves may be on the horizon under new Royals manager Matt Quatraro. Read Past Outlooks

Decent work in spring
PKansas City Royals
March 11, 2023
Coleman has allowed one earned run on four hits and three walks while striking out six over three innings across three Cactus League appearances.
ANALYSIS
Coleman was one of the Royals' more effective relievers in 2022, posting a 2.78 ERA, 1.24 WHIP, 71:37 K:BB and 16 holds over 68 games. The walk issues are still popping up this spring, and Coleman's 3.87 FIP last year suggests regression could be on the way if he can't improve at limiting baserunners.

Stat Review
How does Dylan Coleman compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.
  • K/BB
    Strikeout to walk ratio.
  • K/9
    Average strikeouts per nine innings.
  • BB/9
