Calvin Faucher 2025 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: Potential Source Of Late Round Saves
Miami Marlins reliever Calvin Faucher ended 2024 getting regular save chances, and he may continue in the closer's role in 2025. He pitched 53 ⅔ innings last season, posting a 3.19 ERA, 1.40 WHIP, and 63 strikeouts. His 11.1% walk rate ranked in the 14th percentile, being the main contributor to inflating his WHIP. Still, he was one of the more reliable options out of Miami's pen and didn't give up a homer all season long. The righty especially excelled in the second half, posting a 2.75 ERA with a 31.8% strikeout rate in his final 20 appearances. Saves are hard to come by, especially in deeper leagues, and any closer with a job is worth drafting. Faucher's main competition includes Andrew Nardi, Jesus Tinoco, and Anthony Bender, so it's not farfetched to see him lead the team in saves. ATC is projecting him to collect 15 saves with a 4.06 ERA and 1.40 WHIP over 58 innings in 2025. With an NFBC ADP of 352, he's a good dart throw for saves if you punt the category earlier in the draft.
