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
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2024.
Nabs 15th hold
Ferrer tossed 1.1 scoreless innings of relief Friday to record his 15th hold of the season in a win over the Angels.
Analysis
The southpaw has had a shaky June overall, posting a 5.11 ERA in 12.1 innings, but Ferrer has already set a new career high in holds after coming into 2025 with only 11 over 70 big-league appearances. He seems locked in as one of closer Kyle Finnegan's primary setup men, but his sinker-heavy approach likely won't get him much ninth-inning work in the event Finnegan is traded -- Ferrer has a 59.8 percent groundball rate but only a 19.0 percent strikeout rate on the season.
