2024 Fantasy Outlook
Sims opened the 2023 campaign on the injured list due to back spasms, but he was able to return in mid-April and managed to stay healthy for rest of the season. The 29-year-old posted career-highs with 61 innings across 67 games played as one of the Reds primary setup men, while racking up seven wins and 25 holds that were also career-best marks. With some of the best spin rates in the league, Sims produced a mere 32.1% hard-hit rate that was in the 91st percentile and .177 XBA in the 99th percentile. He also had the highest fly ball percentage among qualified relievers at 61.2 percent. However, Sims' 15.1 percent walk rate was 4th-worst, as he often had trouble commanding his breaking pitches. There's some health risk given Sims' nagging back issues, but he's a decent bet for 20-plus holds if health permits in 2024. Read Past Outlooks
