Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
2018
Moronta is a reliever with a big fastball and a big waistline who has struck out 29.8% of the major-league hitters he has faced in his career. He has also walked 13.6% of those hitters, which is why he has not yet taken that step forward into the closer role. He missed all of 2020 recovering from shoulder surgery, but reports on his recovery have been positive. Manager Gabe Kapler is on record stating Moronta, should he show up to camp in better condition, is very much in the mix for the 2021 closer role. For that to materialize, he will have to cut down on the free passes because closers with WHIP marks over 1.30 walk a fine line. The fastball is impressive, the slider is crisp and if he ever finds control and gets the closer job, his value skyrockets. Start watching him Day 1 in camp for word on his conditioning and pounce early on good news.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could close after deadline
Moronta, whose 3.15 FIP ranked 30th among qualified relievers entering play Saturday, could close for the Giants later in the season.
ANALYSIS
Will Smith, Sam Dyson and Tony Watson are all on the block, and if all three veterans are moved, Moronta could step in. There's a chance Moronta is traded as well, though that seems rather unlikely given he's under club control through 2023. The big righty gave up a run Friday in his first appearance of the second half, but he had allowed just two runs in his prior 15 appearances, and he has a pretty classic closer profile with a 97-mph heater and a swing-and-miss slider.
