Rest-of-Season Projections
2025 Fantasy Outlook
With plenty of recent turnover in the Nationals bullpen, Ferrer is suddenly one of the team's top options for 2025 save chances. The 24-year-old southpaw was one of Washington's better relievers in 2024, though he only tallied six holds, one win and one save across his 31 appearances. The sinker-baller throws hard (98 mph on average), and while he doesn't strike out many batters, he carries a 57.3 percent groundball rate that would have been a top-20 mark among relievers if he pitched enough innings to qualify. Ferrer significantly improved his walk rate last year - from 9.2 percent in 2023 to 4.7 percent. If this sticks for 2025, regular save chances are possible. He's worth a late dart in drafts, especially if Washington doesn't add to its bullpen over the coming months. Read Past Outlooks
Secures third hold
Ferrer gave up a hit and struck out one in a scoreless eighth inning Friday to record his third hold of the season in a 7-4 win over the Marlins.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old southpaw has been one of the Nationals' primary setup men to begin the season, and Ferrer is already halfway to the career-high six holds he pocketed in 2024. While his 5.40 ERA and 1.80 WHIP through 6.2 innings aren't impressive, Ferrer's 8:2 K:BB might offer a better glimpse of how effective he's been. He's also been the victim of some bad luck in the early going with a .429 BABIP and 63.5 LOB%, both of which have plenty of room for regression to friendlier rates.
