Arizona Diamondbacks
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mantiply was hurt early in 2023 which played a role in a down season, but a strong September portended a bounce back in 2024. His 3.92 ERA and 41.9 hard-hit percentage last season doesn't scream success, but a 2.51 FIP indicates bad luck was at play. The lefty is consistently capable of inducing groundballs - 54.1 groundball rate in 2024 and 53.2 for his career - and limiting home runs. Entering his age-34 season, Mantiply does not overpower hitters and relies on a diet of sinkers, curveballs and changeups. If healthy, he'll earn a spot in the bullpen, where he'll work anywhere between the sixth and eighth innings while occasionally facing a difficult lefty to the final out of an inning.

In discussing Arizona's closer role, manager Torey Lovullo mentioned Mantiply as someone that could get save opportunities, Alex Weiner of Arizona Sports reports. "I don't want to dismiss Joe Mantiply," Lovullo said. "He's really good against lefties. So I don't know what the answer is, but I'll probably go more matchup based for right now until it's the right time to make that decision."
ANALYSIS
Lovullo feels all the candidates to close, which include Kevin Ginkel, Justin Martinez and A.J. Puk, have thrown well this spring. There's still a handful of Cactus League games the manager can use to evaluate, but this process could play out into the regular season. Mantiply has a 1.35 ERA with three walks and three strikeouts over 6.2 spring innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2017
Mantiply made the All-Star team for the first time in 2022 after a strong first half that saw him compile a 2.21 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 38:2 K:BB ratio over 36.2 innings. The D'Backs' lefty wasn't as good after the All-Star break (3.86 ERA, 1.29 WHIP), but he had the best walk rate among relievers for much of the season and finished 2nd in the category with a 2.5% clip. Mantiply was also adept at inducing ground balls (53.5%) and getting hitters to chase balls out of the zone, as his 42.9% O-Swing was 4th-best among relievers. The southpaw doesn't throw hard - his sinker averages just 90.4 mph - but his curve and change are effective secondary offerings. If he maintains elite command and continues improving his strikeout rate after a 3.6% jump from 2021, more save opportunities could be in the cards, as he doesn't have much competition in the Arizona pen.
After doing well in the minors, Mantiply earned his chance with the Tigers during the 2016 season, although it didn't go as planned. The lefty walked two and surrendered five runs in just 2.2 innings pitched, registering an ERA of 16.88. After the 2016 season, the Tigers removed Mantiply from their 40-man roster and the Yankees claimed him off of waivers. The 25-year-old only didn't make it long with New York, however, as they cut him loose just three weeks after claiming him off of waivers, subjecting him to the process once more this offseason. The reliever could prove to be a viable lefty-specialist, as he has pitched well over four years in the minor leagues, especially against lefties. Last season at Double-A, Mantiply posted a gaudy .143 BAA and a 39:2 K:BB ratio against same-sided hitters. He has also maintained a 2.44 ERA over 154 games and 239.1 innings in the minors, only giving up 11 homers in that span and producing a respectable 8.9 K/9 rate. Although he may not start the 2017 season in the majors, expect Mantiply to be scooped up quickly off of waivers.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Skidding of late
PArizona Diamondbacks
September 17, 2022
Mantiply has limped to a 4.76 ERA over his past seven appearances. The 31-year-old still carries a 2.86 season-long ERA with quality peripheral metrics.
ANALYSIS
He has begun righting the ship, but Mantiply allowing eight earned runs over his last 11 innings marked a sizably blemish. Mantiply is seemingly in the mix to earn save opportunities down the stretch. His relative youth compared to Arizona's other options bode well for his future closer status as well. Mantiply owns an excellent 0.8 BB/9 and has strong swing-and-miss stuff that has helped him enjoy a breakout year.
