2025 Fantasy Outlook
After leading the league in the saves in 2022 and 2023, Clase fell just short of a three-peat. Still, his 47 saves led the American League and he was third among closers with an 88.7 percent team save share. Clase also became the Guardians' franchise leader in saves while breaking the team's single-season record for the category. The right-hander struggled during the 2024 playoffs, permitting three home runs and eight earned runs across eight postseason innings, but he was lights out in the regular season. Clase led the league with a 0.61 ERA and 0.66 WHIP over a career-high 74.1 innings, while ranking fourth among relievers with a 3.7 percent walk rate and .151 batting average against. He threw his devastating cutter a career-high 77.8 percent of the time at the highest velocity for that pitch type (99.5 mph on average), all while inducing weak contact and plenty of ground balls (57.4 percent). Clase is locked in as a top-3 closer for 2025 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Blows save, grabs win in opener
Clase (1-0) blew the save but picked up a win in Thursday's 7-4 extra-inning victory over the Royals. He allowed one run on three hits while striking out one in the ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Clase was nearly perfect last season, converting 47 of 50 save opportunities while pitching to a pristine 0.61 ERA. However, it was a rocky start to the 2025 campaign for the right-hander. Tasked with protecting a one-run lead, Clase gave up back-to-back hits to start the ninth before Michael Massey tied the game with a sac fly. While he'd eventually earn the win after Cleveland scored three runs in the top of the tenth, it certainly wasn't the start to the year that fantasy managers expected. Still, there's little cause for concern here as Clase has proven to be one of the game's elite closers, posting 40 or more saves in each of his previous three seasons.

2020
Clase led the league in saves for the second straight year, tallying a career-high 44 of the Guardians' 47 total saves, while earning his second consecutive All-Star nomination. His 93.6% team save share led the league once again, as former Guardians manager Terry Francona was very straightforward with his bullpen hierarchy. However, Clase regressed in many categories, all of which new manager Stephen Vogt may consider when determining bullpen roles for 2024. Clase posted career-worst marks with 9 losses and 12 blown saves, the latter leading all relievers. He also posted the worst ratios of his young career, and while his 3.22 ERA and 1.16 WHIP were fine for typical reliever standards, they were not Clase-like. Hitters simply made more contact against him, which inflated his BABIP and saw his strikeout rate plummet to a career-worst 21.2%. Despite these blips, Clase should remain the Guardians closer for 2024 and is likely to be among the top 5 closers taken in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finalist for AL Cy Young
Clase was named a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award on Monday, and he's the first relief pitcher to earn that distinction since Francisco Rodriguez in 2008, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander will finish top three in voting but likely didn't win the award, with Tarik Skubal being the overwhelming favorite. Clase struggled in the playoffs with eight earned runs allowed in seven appearances, but he delivered one of the most dominant regular seasons ever for a relief pitcher with 47 saves, a 0.61 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 66:10 K:BB across 74.1 innings.
