Santillan surprisingly earned the first save of the 2022 MLB season. The Reds didn't deploy him as a traditional closer, but was one of their highest leverage relievers early in the season. He finished with four saves and six holds across 21 appearances before a lower back strain ended his campaign in mid-June. Santillan threw both his slider and 96.2 mph fastball equally, but the latter was hammered to a .350 BA and .475 SLG despite adding 1.2 mph on the pitch, on average. The right-hander previously threw a changeup to left-handed hitters in 2021, but didn't have success with it and removed it from his arsenal last year. Despite a fairly secure high leverage role when healthy, Santillan is too risky of a spec for 2023 drafts. He's a WHIP liability with a career 4.7 BB/9 and is coming off a lengthy injury.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to return
Santillan, out with a back injury, is a "long shot" to return this season, reports Bobby Nightengale of The Cincinnati Enquirer.
ANALYSIS
After an excellent rookie campaign in 2021, hopes were high for Santillan this season but poor play and a back injury put a damper on his sophomore season. The 25-year-old was the Opening Day closer for the Reds, pitching a perfect ninth inning to save the game against the defending champs from Atlanta. There weren't many more save chances in the early going and when there were, he blew three opportunities. All in all, he posted a 5.49 ERA, 1.78 WHIP and 21:12 K:BB in 19.2 innings for Cincinnati. He's quite likely to be a part of the Reds' plans moving forward but may have to serve as a setup man to the new closer, Alexis Diaz, heading into 2023.
