Cleveland Guardians
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Stephan emerged as a reliable setup man for the Guardians after incorporating more split-finger changeups into his 2022 arsenal. He threw the change 27% of the time as a complement to his 96.5 mph 4-seamer (47%) and slider (25%) and produced the second-highest whiff rate for that pitch type at 54%. This helped yield a 96th percentile whiff rate overall, while 52 of Stephan's 82 strikeouts came via the changeup. The 2017 third-rounder was particularly sharp last April, as he didn't give up an earned run or walk over 10 innings. He scuffled in May, but produced a 2.17 ERA and 1.18 WHIP with 64 strikeouts over 45.2 innings the rest of the season. Stephan led Cleveland with 20 holds, but also added six wins and three saves and figures to be one of Emmanuel Clase's primary setup men again in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Struggling in spring
PCleveland Guardians
March 15, 2023
Stephan has allowed five earned runs on three hits and four walks over 2.2 innings through three Cactus League appearances.
ANALYSIS
Stephan has had a bit of bad luck -- two of the three hits he's allowed have been home runs. He was excellent at suppressing the long ball in 2022, giving up just three of them over 63.2 innings after allowing 15 homers in 63.1 innings in 2021. The right-hander emerged as a setup man to Emmanuel Clase last season, so there's not much reason to be concerned about Stephan's performance in spring training, but he could move down the pecking order if he struggles to begin the regular season.

Stat Review
How does Trevor Stephan 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.
