As we gear up for the 2025 fantasy baseball season, the closer landscape is shaping up to be a wild ride. With some familiar names and a few under-the-radar options, it’s time to dive into the debate: who are the hidden gems that could make or break your fantasy roster this year?
Let’s start with Jeff Hoffman. With an ADP of 141.7, he’s been quietly dominating with a sub-1.00 WHIP over the past two seasons. Is he the next big thing in the closer role, or is he just another flash in the pan? Can he truly replicate the success of a healthy Jordan Romano, or are we setting ourselves up for disappointment?
Then there’s Kenley Jansen, now with the Angels. His name might not carry the same weight it once did, but could he be the veteran presence that stabilizes the closer role in a chaotic bullpen? With Ben Joyce nipping at his heels, will Jansen reclaim his former glory, or is he destined to be a mere footnote in fantasy drafts?
And what about Chris Martin? With an ADP of 210.3, he’s been a solid setup man but now finds himself in a position to potentially close. Can he stay healthy and deliver elite ratios, or is he too much of a risk given his age and injury history?
Aroldis Chapman is another intriguing case. Despite his WHIP issues, he’s still racking up strikeouts. Is he worth the gamble for those looking for saves late in drafts, or should we be cautious of his inconsistency?
Let’s not forget the potential of Calvin Faucher and Jorge Lopez. With both players in the mix for saves, who do you think has the edge? Are they worth stashing on your roster, or are they just placeholders in a volatile situation?
Finally, Tyler Kinley is a name that’s been floating around as a potential breakout. With no ADP currently, is he the ultimate sleeper pick, or is he too risky to rely on?
I want to hear your thoughts! Who are you targeting in the closer market this year? Do you believe in the bounce-back potential of veterans, or are you leaning towards the younger, less proven arms? Let’s get the conversation rolling!
