2023 Fantasy Outlook
Foley will be one of the relievers trying to throw his name into the closing mix for the Tigers following their offseason trade of Gregory Soto. The big sinkerballer was one of the team's better relievers for most of 2022 before stumbling to the finish line in the final month. Foley doesn't get strikeouts but he boasts a career 56.8 percent ground ball rate and last year had just a 4.3 percent walk rate. The microscopic walk rate was atypical of the 27-year-old and he might need it to stick in order to make up for the lack of punchouts. Read Past Outlooks

Figures to have prominent role
PDetroit Tigers
February 22, 2023
Foley figures to have a prominent relief role for the Tigers this season with several key members of last year's bullpen departing in the offseason, Evan Woodbery of MLive.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Gregory Soto is the most significant departure, as the lefty led the Tigers in saves last year. However, Joe Jimenez, Michael Fulmer and Andrew Chafin are also gone. That leaves the likes of Foley, Alex Lange and Jose Cisnero in a position to take on more prominent roles, though it's unclear who might emerge as the closer. Foley recorded a 3.88 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 60.1 innings in 2022. However, he only tallied 43 strikeouts in that time, so the righty doesn't profile as an overpowering pitcher, which could make him more of a setup option.

Stat Review
How does Jason Foley 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.
