| Outlook: In spite of a tumbling strikeout rate, Iglesias delivered his best season to date at age 34, limiting hitters to a .156 average on his way to a 1.95 ERA in 2024. His barrel rate was about half his career norm, and his 31% hard-hit rate was, apart from the short 2020 campaign, his best mark since 2017. It is of some concern that Iglesias’s strikeout rate has gone from 38% to 32% to 29% to 26% over the last four years, but last year’s drop was mostly a product of him getting quick outs. His 32% CSW was still excellent and slightly better than his career rate. Also, his fastball velocity was a tad better last year than the previous two seasons. There’s just nothing to suggest Iglesias couldn’t get more strikeouts if he needed to. He’s as sure of a bet for 30+ saves this year as any reliever in the league, which gives him a rankings edge over some of the younger arms with more pure fantasy upside. | |||||||||||||
