The Baller Ranks: Weekly Top 70 Relief Pitcher Rankings

matt barnes fantasy baseball rankings closers saves draft sleepers

We are gathered here today for April's final edition of my 2021 Relief Pitcher Baller Ranks, where we take a weekly peek at my top 70 relievers moving forward. This is geared towards traditional 5x5 roto leagues with the understanding that RPs are as volatile as it gets.

I decided to leave off most injured players because throwing darts at potential return dates and roles is usually a poor use of time. As the season goes on, I'll provide the table you see below with brief notes on a few arms followed by more analysis on movers, but here you get notes on everyone.

This article comes complete with a Baller Ranks google sheet where you'll find the usual 5x5 categories, strikeout rates, Called + Swinging Strike rates, and so on. Please note that those stats are exported from Fangraphs and are good through April 27, and that late games on Wednesday may not be reflected because I just got my second vaccine shot and am fading fast! Cheers, all.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball draft tools and resources:

 

Top 70 Relief Pitchers for Fantasy Baseball - Week 5

Rank (+/-) $ Tier Player EV PV Trend Notes
1 0 $15.0 1 Josh Hader $3.6 $15.0 0.0 ▬ Cruising with 50% strikeout rate, >40% CSW rate
2 0 $13.5 1 Liam Hendriks -$1.8 $13.5 0.0 ▬ Elite swing-and-miss stuff, early HR bumps; 1.40 SIERA!
3 0 $13.5 1 Aroldis Chapman $4.1 $13.5 0.0 ▬ 7 scoreless, a quartet of saves, absurd K rate. Enjoy
4 0 $13.0 2 Craig Kimbrel $3.7 $13.0 0.0 ▬ Hasn't pitched since 4/22, only one hit through 9 IP
5 0 $12.0 2 Raisel Iglesias -$0.1 $12.0 0.0 ▬ .421 BABIP so far, 12/1 K/BB ratio has my trust
6 0 $11.5 2 Edwin Diaz $1.8 $11.5 0.0 ▬ Only 9 Ks through 8 IP is un-Edwinlike, but innings are clean
7 0 $10.0 2 Kenley Jansen $0.5 $10.0 0.0 ▬ Tagged for 1st HR of '21 Monday, he'll be fine
8 0 $9.5 3 Matt Barnes $4.6 $9.5 0.0 ▬ 2 perfect IP saves after 3-ER appearance, great
9 1 $8.0 3 Ryan Pressly $3.3 $7.5 0.5 ▲ Only one save opp through April 25, then B2B SVs. How it goes
10 -1 $7.5 3 Brad Hand $0.6 $8.0 -0.5 ▼ No appearances since April 21, but scoreless season so far
11 5 $7.0 3 Mark Melancon $5.1 $5.0 2.0 ▲ Issued his 1st BB of '21, only 4 baserunners through 11 IP
12 2 $6.5 3 Diego Castillo $0.3 $6.0 0.5 ▲ 3 ER between last 2 games, faith in the 15/4 K/BB ratio
13 4 $6.0 3 Richard Rodriguez $3.7 $4.5 1.5 ▲ Scoreless 10 1/3 IP; only 1 hit and 1 walk allowed so far!
14 -3 $6.0 3 William Smith $2.3 $7.0 -1.0 ▼ Looks sharp, Chris Martin returning soon though
15 -3 $5.5 4 Jake McGee -$0.3 $6.5 -1.0 ▼ 3 HRs in last 4 games, 6 R (4 ER) in last 5. He's fine, but notable
16 -3 $5.0 4 Hector Neris $2.1 $6.0 -1.0 ▼ 2 clean saves after taking a loss, he's the guy for PHI
17 2 $4.5 4 Cesar Valdez $4.0 $3.5 1.0 ▲ Valdez is Baltimore's closer, proceed accordingly
18 0 $4.0 4 Yimi Garcia -$0.4 $4.0 0.0 ▬ García is Miami's closer, proceed accordingly
19 29 $3.5 4 Taylor Rogers $4.0 $1.0 2.5 ▲ Steps up for deserved crack as closer as Colomé chills
20 -5 $3.0 5 Emmanuel Clase $2.7 $5.5 -2.5 ▼ No SVs since 4/18, still great but Karinchak is a demi-god
21 -1 $2.5 5 Alex Reyes $0.6 $3.0 -0.5 ▼ 3 SVs 4/5-8; 0 SVs 4/9-22; 3 SVs 4/23-27. Life as a closer
22 9 $2.5 5 James Karinchak $5.3 $2.0 0.5 ▲ After slower start, a nice 69.2% K rate over last 8 games
23 -1 $2.5 5 Ian Kennedy $0.6 $2.5 0.0 ▬ It's his 9th in TEX, at least until they flip him
24 4 $2.5 5 Lou Trivino $0.1 $2.5 0.0 ▬ Don't love Trivino's Savant profile but he's the 1A for OAK
25 -4 $2.0 5 Rafael Montero -$0.3 $2.5 -0.5 ▼ Steady member of SEA's committee, numbers are healthy
26 -3 $2.0 5 Daniel Bard -$0.9 $2.5 -0.5 ▼ At least 1 ER in 4 of his last 5; Givens is a stash
27 -3 $2.0 6 Lucas Sims $1.7 $2.0 0.0 ▬ The favorite in CIN, but Doolittle can complement him
28 10 $2.0 6 Gregory Soto $0.4 $1.0 1.0 ▲ Soto is good enough to hold as DET's sparsely-used closer
29 -4 $2.0 6 Jake Diekman $2.2 $2.0 0.0 ▬ Only lefty used flexibly by OAK in late frames
30 -4 $2.0 6 Giovanny Gallegos $1.5 $2.0 0.0 ▬ Elite fireman who will chip in a handful of SVs
31 30 $2.0 6 Josh Staumont $1.4 $0.5 1.5 ▲ Collected 2 SVs vs. DET, he's KC's current 1A but it's fluid
32 3 $1.5 6 Rafael Dolis -$0.3 $1.5 0.0 ▬ 3 straight perfect frames; Romano is back, doesn't look 100%
33 -6 $1.5 6 Tejay Antone $1.9 $2.0 -0.5 ▼ Multi-inning RP hard for CIN to tether to 9th, still a target
34 -5 $1.5 6 Drew Pomeranz $1.7 $2.0 -0.5 ▼ The K's are rolling, only 1 ER, but it's Melancon's 9th
35 -3 $1.5 6 Stefan Crichton $1.7 $1.5 0.0 ▬ Hit by comebacker last week, still 1A in ARZ with JB lurking
36 -2 $1.0 6 Greg Holland -$4.1 $1.5 -0.5 ▼ Not out of 9th mix entirely, tough to hold when not sharp
37 0 $1.0 6 Devin Williams -$2.9 $1.0 0.0 ▬ 4 straight holds, rounding back into form
38 1 $1.0 6 Kendall Graveman $3.3 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Has been perfect in 7 of 8 appearances, K's picking up
39 1 $1.0 6 Mychal Givens $0.2 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Looks like COL's most reliable RP (for now), stash if needy
40 5 $1.0 7 Mike Mayers -$0.8 $1.0 0.0 ▬ 5.24 FIP but 3.71 SIERA, still viable insurance for Iglesias
41 5 $1.0 7 Chad Green $3.0 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Has career 32.7% K rate so I'm expecting a few more
42 25 $1.0 7 Garrett Whitlock $3.0 $1.0 0.0 ▬ They'll go lightly post-TJS but he looks electric
43 7 $1.0 7 Sean Doolittle $1.1 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Picked up SV on Tuesday, only a desperate dart to me
44 7 $1.0 7 Jose Alvarado $2.4 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Looked sharp with 99-100 mph sinker in return
45 7 $1.0 7 J.B. Bukauskas $0.7 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Eventually should earn shot at 9th and run far with it
46 7 $1.0 7 Joely Rodriguez $1.7 $1.0 0.0 ▬ My favorite for the 9th if Kennedy gets hurt or traded
47 8 $1.0 7 Victor Gonzalez $0.5 $1.0 0.0 ▬ 69.4% career groundball rate, needs to curtail BBs
48 22 $1.0 8 J.P. Feyereisen $2.0 $1.0 0.0 ▬ 12 shutout IP, 6 HLDs, this is what MIL does
49 0 $1.0 8 Emilio Pagan -$2.0 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Good results but SD 'pen is chock full of talent
50 9 $1.0 8 Tyler Rogers $1.1 $1.0 0.0 ▬ 10 SV+HLD makes up for fewer strikeouts
51 6 $1.0 8 Dylan Floro $2.7 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Looks like MIA's insurance policy for García
52 8 $1.0 8 Austin Adams $1.0 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Ignore early ratios; 2.29 FIP, 2.15 SIERA, elite K's in that arm
53 19 $1.0 8 Jonathan Loaisiga $2.9 $0.5 0.5 ▲ Snuck in a SV, earned it with 16/2 K/BB ratio thus far
54 -12 $1.0 8 Jordan Hicks -$0.2 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Walks in 6 straight, 5 ER in last 4 games. Clear No. 3 for STL
55 -12 $1.0 8 Trevor May $2.3 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Díaz's track record means you need to track the backup
56 -2 $1.0 8 Daniel Hudson -$0.2 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Like Hand, hasn't been deployed since 4/21
57 18 $1.0 8 Jordan Romano -$0.6 $0.5 0.5 ▲ Returned on 4/24, walked 2 of 3 batters faced. Ease into it
58 -17 $1.0 9 Tyler Duffey -$1.9 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Shaky in early going, 7/7 K/BB; can he regain form?
59 -15 $1.0 9 Tanner Scott $0.2 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Back-to-back 3-walk outings is bad, Valdez's grip strengthens
60 -4 $1.0 9 Adam Ottavino $0.9 $1.0 0.0 ▬ Erring very close to losing backup status to Sawamura
61 -25 $0.5 9 Alex Colome -$3.1 $1.0 -0.5 ▼ Removed from high-leverage spots, no guarantee to return
62 -29 $0.5 9 Amir Garrett -$5.2 $1.5 -1.0 ▼ There's a mess, hot mess, fiery mess, then AG's current state
63 -1 $0.5 9 Keynan Middleton -$1.2 $0.5 0.0 ▬ SEA has shown willingness to let him finish games
64 11 $0.5 10 A.J. Minter $2.3 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Should still be strong HLD source when Martin returns
65 -1 $0.5 10 Hansel Robles $1.2 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Gets a small boost with Colomé's demotion
66 -1 $0.5 10 Chris Rodriguez $1.3 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Strong whiffs but still needs more consistency
67 0 $0.5 10 Jorge Alcala -$0.9 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Another steady late arm for MIN with the shake-up
68 0 $0.5 10 Craig Stammen $0.2 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Good ratios, K's, but few SV/HLD opps down the SD totem pole
69 6 $0.5 10 Hirokazu Sawamura $0.4 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Adapting well to MLB, could be No. 2 in BOS
70 0 $0.5 10 Kyle Zimmer $1.7 $0.5 0.0 ▬ Looks good and KC is running a wide committee
