Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2017
Wittgren led Cleveland in holds with 10 in 2020, two more than James Karinchak. His K-BB% increased to 22.4, a top-40 mark among qualified relievers. So, is Wittgren perhaps a sneaky candidate to close over Karinchak? It's not completely out of the question, but it's not likely. For as solid as Wittgren has been since joining Cleveland, he has also been prone to the long ball with a HR/9 over 1.50 each of the past two seasons. He has respectable strikeout rates but nothing close to the same level of dominance as Karinchak. It's also telling that Wittgren did not get a save last year. He's a nice reliever, but the homer problems make it tough to envision him closing consistently. Manager Terry Francona would be playing with fire.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
High-leverage work coming
Wittgren will likely pitch more high-leverage innings going forward now that James Karinchak has been optioned to Triple-A Columbus.
ANALYSIS
The righty has been effective of late, posting a 1.13 ERA and 17:5 K:BB in his last 16 innings dating back to July 27 and lowering his ERA from 5.73 to 4.22. Wittgren hasn't pitched in any save or hold opportunities during that 12-appearance span, but he'll likely join Emmanuel Clase and Brian Shaw as Cleveland's top late-innings options after Karinchak's demotion. Wittgren has seven holds and a save without a blown save this season, so he's no stranger to protecting late leads.
