BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 92
CURRENT ADP: ~113 overall
ANALYSIS: Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Andres Munoz has shown a lot of potential over the past two years. He has a 2.68 ERA combined over the 2022 and 2023 seasons with 17 saves and 163 strikeouts across 114 IP. Now, entering the season as the Mariners' full-time closer, Munoz could be in store for his best season yet.
Before closer Paul Sewald was traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks, Munoz was Seattle's setup man. However, after Sewald was traded in late July, Munoz fully embraced the closer role. He had 11 saves over the final two months with a 2.96 ERA. On the year, the flame-throwing right-hander had a 2.94 ERA and 67 strikeouts in 49 IP.
Munoz will not only be key for saves, but his strikeout numbers will also be a massive boost in 2024. He has a career 12.7 strikeouts per nine innings and posted elite numbers in several categories last year. His expected ERA (2.97), expected batting average against (.205), expected slugging (.287), whiff rate (39.4%), and strikeout rate (31.8%) all ranked in the top 9% in baseball.
Munoz posted solid numbers last year and could be in store for a better season in 2024. He is expected to be the closer on a Mariners team that has won at least 88 games in three straight seasons. That will give the 25-year-old plenty of save opportunities, which makes his 114.8 ADP a bargain.
