ANALYSIS
After making five appearances at the big-league level between the Dodgers and Mets in 2023, Kolarek caught on with the Angels on a minor-league deal over the winter. He didn't receive a call to the big leagues during his time with the organization this season before being cut loose. Over his 31 appearances out of the bullpen at Triple-A Salt Lake in 2024, the 35-year-old lefty logged a 6.97 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 33:18 K:BB over 31 innings.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Amazingly, Kolarek did not allow a single barrel during the 2020 regular season (by Statcast's definition). He threw 19 innings for the Dodgers and had a negative average launch angle and an 84 mph average exit velocity, with the majority of the contact against him on the ground. His drop-down delivery held lefty hitters to a .077/.100/.103 batting line. Kolarek hit some bumps in the road during the postseason and only made one appearance for Los Angeles during the World Series. The southpaw has massive splits for his career and manager Dave Roberts will do what he can to limit Kolarek's exposure to righties around the three-batter minimum rule. The dearth of strikeouts makes Kolarek tough to roster even in leagues counting holds (career 16.8 K%).
Kolarek uses his funky drop-down southpaw delivery to generate groundballs in bunches when the club desperately needs one. He appeared in 80 games last season while working only 55 innings, which will be tough to repeat in 2020 with the new reliever utilization rules. He is death to lefties as they've hit .199/.243/.281 against him in his career, and only two lefties have gone yard against the reliever in his career. Righties tee off to a .299/.368/.480 clip against him, which really makes it tough to envision a successful path forward for him if he has to face three batters and one or more are righties. Manager Dave Roberts will have to be more strategic in how Kolarek is used in 2020 since MLB is insisting on removing strategy from the game in order to save a few minutes of time.
