2023 Fantasy Outlook
His breakout 2021 season would be difficult to top, but Clase exceeded his already high expectations, leading the league with 42 saves while earning his first All-Star nomination and AL Reliever of the Month honors three times. Clase led all qualified relievers with a 0.73 WHIP, while also setting career best marks with 72.2 innings, 77 strikeouts, a 28.4% K% and an impressive 3.7% BB% that was among the best in the majors. His 82.4% team save share also led the league, as he had no competition to his role as the Guardians closer and maintained extremely high stability in that role all season. Clase's velocity was down a tick, averaging "only" 99.6 mph on his cutter after the pitch averaged triple digits last year. He still threw 196 pitches 100 mph or greater, but this was far less than the 471 he threw at that speed in 2021. Clase will be the first closer off the board in many 2023 drafts and is likely to be drafted among the top 3 closers at minimum. Read Past Outlooks
Tagged for homer Sunday
Clase gave up a two-run home run in Sunday's Cactus League game versus the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Clase worked the fifth inning in this contest and ended up giving up his first two runs of the spring. The Guardians' closer posted 42 saves with an excellent 1.36 ERA, 0.73 WHIP and just three homers allowed over 72.2 innings last season, so this is likely just a blip on the radar. He'll be one of the most popular relievers in fantasy drafts, with a cutter that can top 100 mph and two straight years of ninth-inning dominance under his belt.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Imagine you're in the batter's box and the pitcher standing across from you casually fires 100-mph cutters in your direction. Now that you've woken up from that nightmare, take a moment to appreciate Clase's 2021 success. Nearly 45% of Clase's total pitches reached triple digits - 471 to be exact, while no other pitcher threw more than 215. Clase opened the year as Cleveland's primary closer and finished with 24 saves, a 61.5% share of his team's total saves. While he ceded 11 saves to James Karinchak, most were early in the season when Karinchak was in dominant form. Clase's 9.6 K/9 was not elite, but his 0.3 HR/9 was, ranking fourth among qualified relievers. He was lights-out in the second half with a 0.82 ERA, 0.61 WHIP and 33:2 K:BB over 33 innings after the All-Star break. Clase is likely to be drafted among the top 10 closers, but his upside fresh off of a breakout season could land him in the top five.
