Pedro Avila

27-Year-Old PitcherRP
Cleveland Guardians
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Avila split his time between Triple-A El Paso and San Diego, but is likely hoping his days in El Paso are over. The run environment in that park is hostile to pitchers and Avila has allowed 29 homers there over the past two seasons while allowing just 5 homers in 63.2 innings of work at the big league level. Avila had whiff rates better than 40% on both his changeup and curveball last season and he mixes his pitches and spots up to get one of the best groundball rates (60.3%) in all of baseball. He worked both as a traditional starter as well as a bulk pitcher last season so it is rather silly to look at his splits in that area other than to note his numbers were more effective in bulk outings than they were when he came in as a traditional starter. That small sample size does not tell us as much as the fact Avila is a favorite to be in the rotation this year for San Diego as they realign their budgetary priorities for a post-Soto & Snell world.

Makes Cleveland's ALCS roster
PCleveland Guardians
October 14, 2024
Avila is on the Guardians' roster for the ALCS versus the Yankees, Mandy Bell of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Avila was not on Cleveland's ALDS roster, but after it used its bullpen heavily against the Tigers it makes sense to add some more relief protection. The 27-year-old Avila is capable of pitching multiple innings, having tallied 74.2 frames over 50 appearances while posting a 3.25 ERA during the regular season for the Guardians.

Spring Training Job Battles: NL West
254 days ago
Many of the job battles in the NL West involve Rockies pitchers you want no part of, but whoever wins the Padres' closer role could return plenty of fantasy value.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Padres removed Avila from their 40-man roster last June, but he made his way back on following a strong finished at Triple-A El Paso. The 26-year-old has plenty of experience both as a starter and a reliever and has missed bats in both roles. What he hasn't done is throw strikes consistently, especially not since making it back from Tommy John surgery in 2021. The bullpen would seem to be the easier path to a significant role with the Padres for Avila and he would have some work to do before being trusted in leveraged spots.
