2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vesia has maintained a fairly static pitch mix in recent years without much fluctuation in usage of his fastball (63 percent usage), slider (32 percent) and changeup (five percent, exclusive to right-handed batters). While he lost a tick of velocity on his four-seamer (93.4 mph average velocity) and slider (85 mph), opposing hitters struggled to square up against these offerings. Vesia permitted a mere .106 BA and .136 SLG on his slider, which produced a 40 percent whiff rate. Overall, strikeouts were well above average at 33.1 percent (95th percentile) while walks remained an issue. Vesia had one of the highest discrepancies (-1.69) between ERA (1.76) and FIP (3.45) thanks to an extremely low BABIP (.195) and 64.7 fly ball percentage that was highest among relief pitchers. He can still be effective, however, as he enters his age-29 season as the Dodgers' top (non-closer) lefty out of the bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year, $2.25 million contract with the Dodgers in January of 2025. The deal includes a $3.55 million club option or $50,000 buyout for 2026.
Blows save, snags win
Vesia (3-2) allowed an inherited runner to score but didn't give up a hit or a walk while striking out one over 1.2 scoreless innings, taking a blown save and earning the win over the Padres on Sunday.
Analysis
A Jose Iglesias groundout generated the game-tying run, charged to Alexis Diaz, after Vesia entered the game in the eighth inning. The Dodgers retook the lead in their half of the inning, and Vesia remained in the game for a clean ninth to collect the win. He's blown a save in three of his last five appearances, allowing five runs (four earned) with a 4:5 K:BB in that span. Vesia's shaky pitching has likely cost him a larger share of closing duties, though the Dodgers continue to take a committee approach while Tanner Scott (elbow), Kirby Yates (back) and Michael Kopech (knee) work their way back to health. Vesia has collected four saves, four blown saves and 21 holds this season while posting a 2.81 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 67:18 K:BB over 51.1 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
2021
Vesia struggled on the surface in 2023 in large part due to .354 BABIP and 72.6 percent strand rate. However, he still managed a 21.7 K-BB% and should be in for a bounceback campaign in a potential high-leverage role out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rediscovers dominant fastball
Vesia has given up just six hits in 62 at-bats against his four-seam fastball this season.
Analysis
The left-hander tallied a save and 16 holds with a 2.15 ERA in 2022, but he was less reliable in 2023 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Opposing batters hit .273 against Vesia's fastball last season, but he's been dominant with the pitch early in 2024. Evan Phillips remains locked in as the Dodgers' closer, but Vesia should continue to fill a high-leverage role and has two saves and four holds this year.
