Clippard is having a late 30s surge as he put up another strong season as a setup man for the Twins. He had a 2.77 ERA and solid 26.5% strikeout rate with a career-low 4.1% walk rate. Clippard has improved his control from earlier in his career and has limited his home runs allowed (0.69 HR/9 last year), which has offset declining velocity (89.2 mph average fastball last year). His changeup continues to be a plus pitch, limiting batters to a .215 wOBA last year according to Baseball Savant. He's a flyball pitcher (29.4% groundball rate last year) and home runs allowed have been his Achilles' heel in the past. Watch that he's keeping the ball in the park as he had a career-low 5.9% HR/FB in 2020. If he limits homers, he should be a reliable setup man at age 36 once again with Arizona.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Out as closer?
Clippard allowed three runs in an inning of work Wednesday and was not used in a save chance Thursday, suggesting he may have lost his grip on the team's closer role.
ANALYSIS
J.B. Wendelken recorded his second save of the season Thursday and may be the new closer, though there are only nine games left, so it won't equate to a ton of opportunities. The 36-year-old Clippard is on a one-year deal and may not be back with the rebuilding Diamondbacks in 2022.
