2022 Fantasy Outlook
If MLB had a Most Improved Player Award, Suarez may well have won it last season. He was coming off a season lost almost entirely to COVID-19 and owned a career 4.66 ERA in 67.2 innings, most of which came in relief, and he didn't even crack the big-league roster until May. After some strong initial performances, he was temporarily elevated to the closer role and saved four games before the Phillies decided he was needed even more in the rotation. He closed the year with 12 starts and finished with a remarkable 1.36 ERA in 106 innings. Suarez isn't the second coming of Bob Gibson, so he didn't truly earn an ERA quite that low, but his peripherals indicate he should remain a well above-average pitcher going forward. He was better than average in both strikeout rate (25.6%) and walk rate (7.9%) while posting a very strong groundball rate (59.2%, third among pitchers who threw at least 100 innings). Due to the lockout, visa issues may prevent Suarez from being ready for Opening Day. Read Past Outlooks
Early exit against Dodgers
Suarez (4-2) took the loss Friday, giving up three runs on five hits and two walks over three innings in a 4-1 loss to the Dodgers. He struck out five.
ANALYSIS
The lefty needed 84 pitches (48 strikes) to record only nine outs, and he got stuck with the loss when the Phillies' offense couldn't repeat last week's success against Julio Urias. Suarez has seen his numbers take a big step backward so far in 2022. He's posted a 4.12 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 19.0 percent strikeout rate through 39.1 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Suarez looked like a strong relief option in 2019, posting a 3.14 ERA in 48.2 innings, but his 2020 season was unfortunately almost a complete write-off. He battled COVID-19 during summer camp and wasn't deemed ready to join the big-league roster until the final day of August. Three poor outings later, he was sent right back to the team's alternate training site, and he didn't pitch again the rest of the way. He finished the year with an unsightly 20.25 ERA and 3.50 WHIP, though the sample size is far too small to draw any meaningful conclusions. We're probably best served looking back to 2019 when assessing Suarez's future. He posted a below-average 20.5 K% that season but made up for it with a 5.9 BB% and a 55.1% groundball rate. That's not a high-leverage reliever by any means, but it should be enough to keep him in the big leagues, either as a left-handed relief weapon or a swingman.
