25-Year-Old PitcherRP
Colorado Rockies
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vodnik filled a multi-inning, low-leverage role for Colorado early on in 2024. Featuring an upper-90's fastball (63 percent usage), slider (20 percent) and changeup (17 percent), the 25-year-old allowed a 93.1 mph average exit velocity and 49.3 hard-hit percentage that were among the worst marks in the majors. When combined with an 11.6 percent walk rate and below average K-rate (20.3 percent), you wouldn't expect this type of production to come close to the ninth inning. However, Vodnik managed to climb several rungs on Colorado's leverage ladder before he was afforded the opportunity to close for the Rockies last summer. The right-hander tallied nine saves in 15 chances and finished the year with 73.2 innings (T-14 among relievers). Vodnik enters spring training as one of the candidates to close in Colorado, but Tyler Kinley and Seth Halvorsen have more save upside. Read Past Outlooks

Will share closer duties with Mejia
PColorado Rockies
August 4, 2025
Rockies interim manager Warren Schaeffer said Sunday that Vodnik and Juan Mejia will share closer duties while Seth Halvorsen (elbow) is on the 15-day injured list, Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post reports.
Analysis
Vodnik has registered two saves this season, posting a 3.55 ERA and 34:20 K:BB over 33 innings along the way. While the right-hander has a big arm and is a groundball pitcher, a 1.55 WHIP and 13.8 percent walk rate portend to trouble. Halvorsen could miss several weeks with a mild right flexor strain, but the Rockies' closer situation is likely to remain difficult to depend on for fantasy purposes.

2024 Fantasy Outlook
Vodnik was acquired from Atlanta in late July for Pierce Johnson and got his first taste of the majors. Vodnik had a 3.35 ERA and 69:31 K:BB in 53.2 innings between Double-A and Triple-A. He has a plus fastball that averaged 97 mph in the majors. He has shown ground ball tendencies, but command issues and less promising secondary offerings could limit his upside. He'll contend for a setup role this spring.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could leave Colorado
PColorado Rockies
June 7, 2025
Jim Bowden of The Athletic reports that Vodnik could be a trade piece for the Rockies this summer.
Analysis
The Rockies aren't in a position to hang onto relievers if they generate at least some kind of trade value before the deadline, and it wouldn't be surprising if a team in contention at least kicks the tires on Vodnik's availability. The right-hander owns a 2.70 ERA across 13.1 innings in 14 appearances this season.
