2023 Fantasy Outlook
Gallegos continues to be rock solid in his flexible high leverage relief role for the Cardinals. The 31-year-old inked a 2-year extension with St. Louis late last season after the team scaled back his workload from 80.1 innings in 2021 to just 59 last year. Gallegos nearly replicated his prior season outputs, posting 14 saves, similar ratios and a strikeout rate over 30% for the fourth straight year, though he didn't produce as many whiffs or strikeouts on his 4-seamer. He also walked batters at a career-worst clip (7.7%), but was still league average for that particular metric while measuring in the 90th percentile or higher in expected batting average, K% and whiff percentage. Gallegos should still be in the mix for saves in 2023, but he isn't likely to step into full-time closer duties unless Ryan Helsley suffers an injury. Read Past Outlooks
Picks up save vs. Puerto Rico
Gallegos allowed two hits, but he was able to fire a scoreless inning Friday to pick up a save in the World Baseball Classic for Team Mexico against Puerto Rico.
ANALYSIS
Gallegos threw 11 of 17 pitches for strikes, and he was able to fan Enrique Hernandez to get out of trouble. The right-hander is saving games for Team Mexico, but he is expected to operate in a setup role for the Cardinals in the regular season.

After two consecutive seasons of high-leverage success with the Cardinals, Gallegos finally got an opportunity to be the team's primary closer towards the end of 2021. He didn't disappoint, racking up a league-high 12 saves between Aug. 30 and the end of the season while finishing the year with 14 saves overall. Gallegos (6-5) also delivered an impressive 3.02 ERA, 0.88 WHIP (third among qualified relievers) and 24 holds (fifth) across a career-high 73 appearances and 80.1 innings. His success and reliability in closer role in Sep-Oct carried St. Louis during a 17-game winning streak en route to a playoff spot via the NL Wild Card. There has been talk surrounding Alex Reyes and Jordan Hicks joining the Cardinals' rotation in 2022, which puts Gallegos on track to return as closer next season. He certainly has the talent to be one of the top options at the position and finish among the league leaders in saves.
