2026 Fantasy Outlook
Topa bounced back from an injury-plagued 2024 season to be a productive middle reliever and could have a higher leverage role in 2025. Topa pitched just 2.1 innings in 2024 due to a left knee injury, but returned to post a 3.90 ERA in 2025 despite just a 18.3% strikeout rate mostly due to good control (6.7% BB) and a decent groundball rate (47.7%). He scuffled a bit when he became part of the closer committee after the trade deadline, however, with two blown saves in six chances the last two months (despite a 3.31 ERA but just a 11:6 K:BB in 16.1 innings). Topa throws a bowling-ball sinker that can reach the high 90-mph range and his slider can be a swing-and-miss weapon. He could be in the closer mix for the Twins if the team doesn't sign a high-profile veteran reliever. Read Past Outlooks
