2025 Fantasy Outlook
After leading the league in the saves in 2022 and 2023, Clase fell just short of a three-peat. Still, his 47 saves led the American League and he was third among closers with an 88.7 percent team save share. Clase also became the Guardians' franchise leader in saves while breaking the team's single-season record for the category. The right-hander struggled during the 2024 playoffs, permitting three home runs and eight earned runs across eight postseason innings, but he was lights out in the regular season. Clase led the league with a 0.61 ERA and 0.66 WHIP over a career-high 74.1 innings, while ranking fourth among relievers with a 3.7 percent walk rate and .151 batting average against. He threw his devastating cutter a career-high 77.8 percent of the time at the highest velocity for that pitch type (99.5 mph on average), all while inducing weak contact and plenty of ground balls (57.4 percent). Clase is locked in as a top-3 closer for 2025 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Survives for 18th save
Clase picked up the save in Sunday's 3-0 win against the Athletics, allowing two hits and one walk in a scoreless inning. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
The Cleveland closer was shaky in this 31-pitch appearance to collect a save for the second consecutive day. Clase loaded the bases on two singles and a walk before securing the win by inducing a Lawrence Butler groundout to wrap the contest. After pitching to an uncharacteristic 6.75 ERA through April 30, Clase has been back to his old self since then with a 1.33 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 21:7 K:BB across 20.1 frames while going 13-for-14 in save chances.

2020
Clase led the league in saves for the second straight year, tallying a career-high 44 of the Guardians' 47 total saves, while earning his second consecutive All-Star nomination. His 93.6% team save share led the league once again, as former Guardians manager Terry Francona was very straightforward with his bullpen hierarchy. However, Clase regressed in many categories, all of which new manager Stephen Vogt may consider when determining bullpen roles for 2024. Clase posted career-worst marks with 9 losses and 12 blown saves, the latter leading all relievers. He also posted the worst ratios of his young career, and while his 3.22 ERA and 1.16 WHIP were fine for typical reliever standards, they were not Clase-like. Hitters simply made more contact against him, which inflated his BABIP and saw his strikeout rate plummet to a career-worst 21.2%. Despite these blips, Clase should remain the Guardians closer for 2024 and is likely to be among the top 5 closers taken in drafts.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade piece for Cleveland?
The Guardians should fetch a substantial return for Clase if the club elects to trade the 27-year-old closer at the deadline, Thomas Harrigan of MLB.com posits.
ANALYSIS
The Guardians sit 0.5 games back of a wild-card spot in the American League standings, but their performance this season has been a disappointment compared to 2024 when they made the ALCS. The Guardians don't have many options on expiring deals, but Hannigan believes the team could look to maximize Clase's value and send him to a contending team while moving setup man Cade Smith to a closer role. Clase has converted 17 of 20 save opportunities this season and has a 3.58 ERA, 1.44 WHIP and 34:9 K:BB across 32.2 innings.
