2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks
Picks up win in relief
Vesia (2-3) earned the win over Oakland on Sunday, striking out two batters in a perfect inning of work.
ANALYSIS
Vesia entered in the seventh inning and struck out two of the three batters he faced, tossing a total of 15 pitches. The impressive frame earned him credit for the win in a contest during which starter River Ryan completed 4.2 innings. Vesia notched five saves between May 6 and July 6, but he hasn't been used in a save situation since. He remains one of the Dodgers' top high-leverage options though, and he's recorded nine holds along with the five saves while posting a 1.88 ERA, 0.98 WHIP and 65:22 K:BB over 48 innings on the season.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Vesia continues to fly a bit under the radar as one of the game's top left-handed relievers. His 94 mph 4-seamer was one of the best in the league, producing a top-20 Statcast run value (-14) for that pitch type. His fastball was responsible for 53 of his career-high 79 strikeouts, while his 34.8% K% was in the 97th percentile. He also got plenty of whiffs (92nd percentile), leading to a 73.8% in-zone contact percentage that was 4th-best among qualified relievers. Vesia was particularly sharp in the second half, as 26 of his final 27 appearances were scoreless. From July 22 onwards, he compiled an impressive 0.36 ERA, 0.72 WHIP and 40 strikeouts over 25.2 innings. Vesia will continue to serve as the Dodgers' top lefty out of the bullpen, but don't dismiss the possibility that he becomes part of the mix for saves, especially if he continues to improve his command (4.0 BB/9 for his career).

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.
