2024 Fantasy Outlook
Soto entered his first year of salary arbitration in line to receive a significant raise after recording 30 saves for Detroit in 2022. In turn, the cost-conscious Tigers traded the hard-throwing lefty to Philadelphia last January. Soto filled a setup role for the Phillies and recorded a career-high 24 holds while reducing his perennially high double-digit walk rate to a career-best 8.8 percent. The 28-year-old maintained a 97th percentile fastball velocity (98.3 mph average) while throwing his slider at a career-high 39 percent clip. The pitch induced a 49 percent whiff rate and held opposing hitters to a mere .160 average. Soto was particularly effective against left-handed batters (.127 BAA) and figures to reprise setup duties in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
Notches first save
Soto allowed one hit in a scoreless frame Monday, striking out two and earning a save over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Soto was in a first-and-third jam with just one out but punched out Nolan Gorman and Nolan Arenado to close out the 5-3 win in the 10th inning. This came after Jeff Hoffman blew a save chance in the ninth. Soto now has a save and two holds with a 5:0 K:BB through 3.2 shutout frames.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Chance for saves?
Jose Alvarado was placed on the 15-day injured list Wednesday with left elbow inflammation, per Matt Gelb of The Athletic, which could open up ninth-inning opportunities for Soto.
ANALYSIS
Alvarado has been Philadelphia's best reliever this season and has five saves, but he's now facing an unspecified absence. Soto had 30 saves for the Tigers last season but has yet to receive a save chance in 2023. He has seven holds with a 4.50 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 20:9 K:BB across 16 innings but could now be in the mix for saves along with Craig Kimbrel, who has a 7.62 ERA with three saves.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Tigers manager A.J. Hinch announced Soto would enter 2022 as his closer only a few days after the 2021 season ended. With only a half-season of experience in the role and a career walk rate over 13%, expectations for the southpaw were low, especially given the veteran competition in Detroit's bullpen if things went south. However, Soto recorded a career high 30 of the Tigers' 38 saves last year for a 78.9% team save share that was third-highest among closers. He made his second All Star team and established career marks in ERA (3.28) and home run rate (0.3 HR/9) while still pumping heat at 98.4 mph on average. On the flip side, Soto's strikeout rate dipped nearly five percentage points to a league average 22.8%, while his 12.9% walk rate was sixth-worst among qualified relievers. Soto was already a risky long-term option for saves given these factors, and his trade to the Phillies in January makes him an even more volatile option. Philadelphia has Craig Kimbrel and Seranthony Dominguez headlining its closing committee, and Soto is likely to start 2023 as no better than No. 3 in that pecking order.
