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
Signed a one-year contract with the Giants in March of 2025.
Secures 14th save
Walker earned a save against the Rockies on Wednesday, allowing one hit while striking out one batter over a scoreless two-thirds of an inning.
Analysis
It didn't seem like Walker would be needed with the Giants beginning the bottom of the ninth inning with a 10-5 lead, but he was called upon to put out a fire after Colorado loaded the bases with one out. Walker gave up a sacrifice fly followed by a two-run double, but none of those runs were charged to his ledger. Since he entered with the tying run on deck, Walker was able to get credit for a save by finishing out the contest despite allowing his team's lead to shrink. He's now completed 10 straight scoreless appearances, posting a 0.86 WHIP and 12:0 K:BB over 9.1 frames during that span.

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.
