2025 Fantasy Outlook
With plenty of recent turnover in the Nationals bullpen, Ferrer is suddenly one of the team's top options for 2025 save chances. The 24-year-old southpaw was one of Washington's better relievers in 2024, though he only tallied six holds, one win and one save across his 31 appearances. The sinker-baller throws hard (98 mph on average), and while he doesn't strike out many batters, he carries a 57.3 percent groundball rate that would have been a top-20 mark among relievers if he pitched enough innings to qualify. Ferrer significantly improved his walk rate last year - from 9.2 percent in 2023 to 4.7 percent. If this sticks for 2025, regular save chances are possible. He's worth a late dart in drafts, especially if Washington doesn't add to its bullpen over the coming months. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Nationals in March of 2025.
Could be favorite to close
Ferrer is likely to be part of the ninth-inning mix for the Nationals with Kyle Finnegan having been traded to the Tigers, Mark Zuckerman of MASN Sports reports.
Analysis
The 25-year-old southpaw boasts a power sinker that's averaged 97.4 mph this season and a changeup with a 42.7 percent whiff rate, but Ferrer's actual ratios don't match the scouting report, as he has a 4.78 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and meager 20.1 percent strikeout rate over 52.2 innings in 2025. If the Nats determine he isn't closer material, right-handers Cole Henry and Zach Brzykcy could get save chances instead, and a committee approach might be the most likely scenario unless someone seizes the closing role.

Could factor into closing picture
Manager Dave Martinez said earlier this week that Ferrer remains a candidate to save games for the Nationals along with Jorge Lopez, Mark Zuckerman of MASNSports.com reports. "As I said earlier, Ferrer will get an opportunity to close as well," Martinez said. "Right now, we're going to play matchups. But if Lopez is available, he can do it."
