2025 Fantasy Outlook
After a promising debut in 2023, Walker made the Giants' Opening Day bullpen last season. The 28-year-old quickly worked his way up the high-leverage ladder, primarily pitching as a setup man until closer Camilo Doval was demoted to the minors. By that point, Walker became manager Bob Melvin's most trusted reliever and was elevated to the closer role in mid-August. By the end of the season, he was the only reliever to record double-digit wins (10), saves (10) and holds (21). Capping off an impressive breakout campaign, Walker was near the top of the leaderboard in several categories among relievers, including ERA (1.94, 12th), WHIP (0.85, 10th) and innings pitched (80, 7th). His 26.9 K-BB percentage ranked 10th and he finished one strikeout shy of 100. Unless San Francisco signs or trades for a more established closer this offseason, Walker enters 2025 as the clear favorite for saves in the Bay Area. Read Past Outlooks
Grabs sixth save
Walker earned the save in Saturday's 6-3 win over the Rockies, striking out one batter in a perfect ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
With Camilo Doval being deployed in the seventh inning, Walker was brought in for the ninth to preserve the Giants' three-run lead. Walker forced the first two batters to ground out and came away with the save after retiring Adael Amador on a seven-pitch strikeout. It was Walker's first save since April 19 as he and Camilo Doval have formed a closer committee after Walker initially opened the campaign as the clear No. 1 option.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
After toiling in the minors since 2018, Walker made his major league debut in late May. He earned the promotion with a .89 ERA and .85 WHIP with Triple-A Sacramento. Walker appeared 49 times with the Giants, serving as an opener on 13 occasions. He fanned batters at a 29.7 percent clip, but his 9.1 percent walk rate was a bit above average. However, the main reason for a high 1.39 WHIP was a bloated .351 BABIP. As unlucky as he was in that realm, an 81.8 percent left on base mark kept the traffic from reaching home. Walker's performance should merit a spot in the Giants opening day bullpen. With several young starting pitchers, he could reprise his opener role. Walker likely won't be a late-inning option, but his strikeout rate is such that he can be relevant in NL-only formats.
