Feb 27, 2024 · A save in baseball is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, often referred to as a closer, who finishes a game for the winning team under certain prescribed circumstances. The concept behind a save is to preserve a lead for the team, usually entered into the game with a relatively slim margin of victory in sight.

In most seasons, in the high-stakes market in 15-team leagues, a fantasy team needs about 75 to 90 saves on the year (about 3.5 saves per week) to finish in the top 20 percent. Last year in a 12-team format, a fantasy team needed 77 saves to rank in the top 20 percent. The best teams will use seven starters and two closers. If I fall behind in save...
One of my goals is to find 150 strikeouts from my two closers. If I find two relievers with this skill set at the right price, I will beat most teams at the backend of the pitching staff. There may be multiple closers with the skill set to get more than 100 strikeouts. It’s hard to project wins from a closer, but some closers get a chance to pitch ...

This draft plan helps a drafter gain an edge in their offense or starting pitching. To me, it’s all about each player’s price point. Saves were moving backward in the high-stakes market. Even in those years, I had to de...
In the past, I’ve drafted a reliever in a bullpen that I thought had a better skill set while being a toss-up to land the 9th inning job. Over the past few years, I’ve learned that the player with the best skill set doesn’t always end up with the bulk of save chances. Many times, a manager chooses a player with the most experience. The key is draft...
On the flip side of chasing one closer or cheating saves completely in a draft is securing two lockdown ninth inning arms. If I build my team this way, the available bench space will help my starting pitching depth, roster an upside batter, or extra hitters to cover in-week injuries. Also, it creates more buying power in free-agent dollars to pick ...
As I go through the closer inventory, I’m trying to identify the best options. I also need to understand the draft flow. I want to minimize my risk (giving away picks) and maximize my opportunity. When I’m ranking these players, strikeouts are a significant factor. Save opportunities are essential, but it is sometimes difficult to predict. I’ve oft...
