2025 Fantasy Outlook
Even though his metrics weren't eye-popping, Finnegan maintained higher stability than expected as the Nationals' closer, racking up a career-high 38 saves (third in the league) with a 95 percent team save share that was highest among closers. Somehow, the right-hander just kept getting the job done in the ninth inning despite giving up a ton of hard contact -- his 91.3 mph average exit velocity was a bottom-one percent of MLB -- and allowing plenty of traffic on the bases. His 1.34 WHIP ranked 18th out of the 20 closers who recorded 20-plus saves. Finnegan is coming off his first All-Star selection, but he's currently a free agent after Washington non-tendered him. He should draw plenty of interest due to his high-leverage experience, but closing is no guarantee. Read Past Outlooks
Blows second save in a row
Finnegan was saddled with a blown save after allowing three runs on three hits, walking and striking out none, during Monday's 6-4 loss to the Rockies.
ANALYSIS
It was perhaps the worst outing of the season for Finnegan, allowing a season-high three runs and three hits. The 33-year-old has flirted with danger lately, allowing seven hits in his last five games, but this was the first time that he allowed a run credited to him over that stretch. The right-hander is now 18-for-23 on save opportunities for the season.

2021
Finnegan was 14th in the majors with a career-high 28 saves for the Nationals, which represented a 66.7% team save share. The 32-year-old pitched a career-high 69.1 innings, but he may have run out of gas down the stretch as he posted a 7.63 ERA and 1.89 WHIP over the last month-and-a-half. His performance otherwise (2.55 ERA, 1.11 WHIP) was solid and he was Washington's highest leveraged reliever per WPA (1.88) and gmLI (1.90). Finnegan still relied heavily on his upper-90's fastball (70% usage), but he threw more split fingers (24.8%) since it was his most successful pitch (.167 BAA, 35.3% whiff) last year. However, the right-hander produced a career-worst strikeout rate (21.7%) and permitted 11 home runs (17.7% HR/FB%). With the Nationals playing more competitive ball, they may turn to a reliever with more upside for ninth inning duties. They have a few internal options (Harvey, Rainey), so don't be surprised if Finnegan gets fewer save opportunities in 2024.
