2025 Fantasy Outlook
Vesia has maintained a fairly static pitch mix in recent years without much fluctuation in usage of his fastball (63 percent usage), slider (32 percent) and changeup (five percent, exclusive to right-handed batters). While he lost a tick of velocity on his four-seamer (93.4 mph average velocity) and slider (85 mph), opposing hitters struggled to square up against these offerings. Vesia permitted a mere .106 BA and .136 SLG on his slider, which produced a 40 percent whiff rate. Overall, strikeouts were well above average at 33.1 percent (95th percentile) while walks remained an issue. Vesia had one of the highest discrepancies (-1.69) between ERA (1.76) and FIP (3.45) thanks to an extremely low BABIP (.195) and 64.7 fly ball percentage that was highest among relief pitchers. He can still be effective, however, as he enters his age-29 season as the Dodgers' top (non-closer) lefty out of the bullpen. Read Past Outlooks
Secures second save
Vesia allowed a hit in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Friday's 8-5 win over the Yankees.
ANALYSIS
Vesia got the save chance after Tanner Scott defused a two-on, two-out situation in the eighth inning. Both pitchers struggled in their last outings Wednesday versus the Guardians, and it's at least intriguing that Vesia was called upon to handle the top of the Yankees' order, which he did successfully after pitching around Trent Grisham's leadoff single. Vesia has allowed four runs in May, all via home runs, over 10.1 innings. He's at two saves, 10 holds, a 3.24 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 35:9 K:BB through 25 innings. With Scott blowing three saves over his last five appearances, Vesia looks to be the early candidate to take over the ninth inning should manager Dave Roberts officially make a change at closer. Even if that happens, it could lead to a committee scenario, especially once Kirby Yates (hamstring) and Michael Kopech (shoulder) are ready to return.

2022
2021
Vesia struggled on the surface in 2023 in large part due to .354 BABIP and 72.6 percent strand rate. However, he still managed a 21.7 K-BB% and should be in for a bounceback campaign in a potential high-leverage role out of the Dodgers' bullpen in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Rediscovers dominant fastball
Vesia has given up just six hits in 62 at-bats against his four-seam fastball this season.
ANALYSIS
The left-hander tallied a save and 16 holds with a 2.15 ERA in 2022, but he was less reliable in 2023 with a 4.35 ERA and 1.39 WHIP. Opposing batters hit .273 against Vesia's fastball last season, but he's been dominant with the pitch early in 2024. Evan Phillips remains locked in as the Dodgers' closer, but Vesia should continue to fill a high-leverage role and has two saves and four holds this year.
