2025 Fantasy Outlook
Cano was once again among the league leaders in the holds category, racking up 34 (T-3rd) for the Orioles. The 31-year-old righty managed to improve his strikeout rate by 3.1 percentage points, bringing it to a solid 26.1 percent overall, but issued more free passes with a 9.6 percent walk rate (27th percentile). The latter marked a five percent increase over 2023, during which it was a 96th percentile metric. Cano's 96 mph sinker still produced one of the highest groundball rates among relievers at 62.9 percent, making his profile one that is certainly capable of closing. If Baltimore eases Felix Bautista back into the closer role, Cano could benefit with additional save opportunities. Double-digit saves are possible in 2025, but don't count on more than 10-to-15 unless Bautista has any setbacks in his recovery. Read Past Outlooks
Takes loss Saturday
Cano (4-3) allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and struck out two in one inning, taking the extra-inning loss versus the Tigers on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Cano faltered in the 10th inning, allowing a run on a single and another on a sacrifice fly. He had not given up multiple runs in any appearance since June 25. The setup man now has a 2.84 ERA, though his 1.26 WHIP and 63:21 K:BB over 57 innings are not as strong. He's also collected five saves, three blown saves and 33 holds across 66 appearances this season.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Acquired by the Orioles in the 2022 Jorge Lopez trade, Cano's rookie season was a resounding success. The right-hander didn't break camp with Baltimore, but was recalled in mid-April and didn't allow a hit or walk across his first 9 appearances. Even better, he didn't allow a run until May 19, parlaying his early-season dominance into a high-leverage setup role and All-Star nomination. Cano leveraged his sinker (55.7% usage) to produce a 58.9% groundball percentage, but he didn't strike many batters out (23% K%). However, his 4.6% walk rate was in the 96th percentile, while his ratios were in the top-15 among qualified relievers. Cano tied for the league lead with 31 holds, but also added 8 saves. Those expecting him to take over closing duties for Baltimore in 2024 should note Cano only recorded 4 of the Orioles' 9 saves after Felix Bautista's season-ending injury. He's still likely to receive save chances, but the team may be looking to add a short-term option for closing duties.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sudden dominance
Cano has thrown seven perfect innings for Baltimore this season, with his arsenal catching the attention of Fangraphs' Ben Clemens.
ANALYSIS
Cano recorded an 11.50 ERA across 18 innings last season in his debut campaign, but an offseason with Baltimore has yielded dominant results thus far in 2023. The sample size is small, but Cano appears on track to spell Felix Bautista for the occasional save opportunity if he continues pitching well. He's already worked his way into the high-leverage mix with one save and three holds.
