2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a poor spring, the Twins optioned Megill to Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season. Further struggles prompted the club to designate the reliever in late April. The Brewers acquired Megill from the Twins and sent him to Triple-A Nashville. Megill spent the rest of the season alternating between the minor and majors. While with the Brewers, Megill posted a 3.63 ERA over 34.2 innings, but a bloated .407 BABIP fueled an inflated 1.36 WHIP. Megill fanned 35.1 percent of batters, and yielded just two homers, so the excess traffic didn't hurt him too much. Megill throws a 99-mph four-seam fastball 72 percent of the time, mixing in the curve. Curiously, Megill's career BABIP is .393. Megill has the stuff to be late-inning reliever, but until he figures out to calm down his high hit rate, he'll likely work in lower leverage scenarios. Read Past Outlooks
Collects 21st save
Megill picked up the save in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Mets, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
With typical closer Devin Williams completing a 21-pitch save Thursday, manager Pat Murphy called upon Megill, who secured his first save since July 23. The 30-year-old flamethrower required only 14 pitches -- 13 of which were strikes -- to complete his first save of more than three outs this season. Overall, Megill has been one of the most dependable relievers in the league, pitching to a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB with 21 saves across 46.1 total innings.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
Making a difference as a Rule 5 draftee is a tall task, one the 6-foot-8 Megill has a chance to accomplish after being selected by the Cubs after being left off the Padres 40-man roster. Megill's 4.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP last season for Triple-A El Paso don't tell the whole story. A bloated .411 BABIP inflated his hits and led to an ERA well over the associated 3.46 FIP and 3.41 xFIP. The Cubs are banking their infield defense along with Megill's dominant 32.3 percent strikeout rate helps fortify their bullpen. He's had injury issues, with a reconstructed elbow in college and bone spurs costing him the 2016 season. The health history has forced Megill to focus on relief, where his 95-mph fastball and power breaking stuff excel. He isn't likely to see late-inning duty right away, but his strikeouts play in NL-only formats and he could work his way into hold or even save opportunities down the line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance to close in 2025?
The Brewers could explore the possibility of trading closer Devin Williams during the offseason, per Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, and Megill would likely be the leading candidate to close in 2025 should a deal be completed.
ANALYSIS
Megill served as Milwaukee's closer during the first half of 2024 while Williams was sidelined and tallied 21 saves with a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB in 48 regular-season appearances. The Brewers haven't been shy in the past about trading away key pitchers nearing the end of their contract -- see Corbin Burnes and Josh Hader -- and Williams would certainly bring a strong trade return as one of the top closers in baseball. Megill looked to be on the journeyman path when he was acquired by the Brewers in early 2023, but he's turned into a reliable high-leverage arm with a 3.11 ERA in 79 appearances with Milwaukee.
