2024 Fantasy Outlook
2023 finally offered some clarity on Alzolay's role, as he was healthy for much of the season and made a career-high 58 appearances - all in relief. Many were multi-inning outings, especially early on, but Alzolay quickly established himself as Chicago's best reliever and took over closing duties in June. The right-hander secured 21 of the Cubs' 23 saves from June through August, but he suffered a forearm strain in September that required an IL stint. It wasn't serious, but Alzolay has missed time during each of the past 3 seasons with various injuries. Drafting him carries plenty of risk, but he's certainly been effective when healthy. Alzolay features a 6-pitch arsenal headlined by a slider that produced a 40.6% whiff rate. His 26.5% strikeout rate wasn't elite, but still above average, while his ratios and walk rate were excellent. Yet, Alzolay is not guaranteed to open 2024 as the Cubs closer with the team expected to be active in the relief market. Read Past Outlooks
