2024 Fantasy Outlook
Clase led the league in saves for the second straight year, tallying a career-high 44 of the Guardians' 47 total saves, while earning his second consecutive All-Star nomination. His 93.6% team save share led the league once again, as former Guardians manager Terry Francona was very straightforward with his bullpen hierarchy. However, Clase regressed in many categories, all of which new manager Stephen Vogt may consider when determining bullpen roles for 2024. Clase posted career-worst marks with 9 losses and 12 blown saves, the latter leading all relievers. He also posted the worst ratios of his young career, and while his 3.22 ERA and 1.16 WHIP were fine for typical reliever standards, they were not Clase-like. Hitters simply made more contact against him, which inflated his BABIP and saw his strikeout rate plummet to a career-worst 21.2%. Despite these blips, Clase should remain the Guardians closer for 2024 and is likely to be among the top 5 closers taken in drafts. Read Past Outlooks
Earns 47th save
Clase earned the save against the Reds on Wednesday, allowing one hit and two walks with one strikeout in a scoreless ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Clase was called upon to protect a 5-2 lead in the ninth frame and worked out of a bases-loaded jam with no outs to secure his 47th save of the season. While he was a bit shaky, the closer has not allowed an earned run in 10 September outings. He owns a microscopic 0.61 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 66:10 K:BB across 73.1 innings and is in a tightly contested battle with Ryan Helsley of the Cardinals for the major-league lead in saves.

2020
His breakout 2021 season would be difficult to top, but Clase exceeded his already high expectations, leading the league with 42 saves while earning his first All-Star nomination and AL Reliever of the Month honors three times. Clase led all qualified relievers with a 0.73 WHIP, while also setting career best marks with 72.2 innings, 77 strikeouts, a 28.4% K% and an impressive 3.7% BB% that was among the best in the majors. His 82.4% team save share also led the league, as he had no competition to his role as the Guardians closer and maintained extremely high stability in that role all season. Clase's velocity was down a tick, averaging "only" 99.6 mph on his cutter after the pitch averaged triple digits last year. He still threw 196 pitches 100 mph or greater, but this was far less than the 471 he threw at that speed in 2021. Clase will be the first closer off the board in many 2023 drafts and is likely to be drafted among the top 3 closers at minimum.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Finalist for AL Cy Young
Clase was named a finalist for the American League Cy Young Award on Monday, and he's the first relief pitcher to earn that distinction since Francisco Rodriguez in 2008, per Sarah Langs of MLB.com.
ANALYSIS
The right-hander will finish top three in voting but likely didn't win the award, with Tarik Skubal being the overwhelming favorite. Clase struggled in the playoffs with eight earned runs allowed in seven appearances, but he delivered one of the most dominant regular seasons ever for a relief pitcher with 47 saves, a 0.61 ERA, 0.66 WHIP and 66:10 K:BB across 74.1 innings.
