Jose Quijada

Quijada tallied the Angels' first save after they traded Raisel Iglesias, but only finished with three on the season across his 42 appearances. Still, the southpaw emerged as the Halos' left-handed specialist last season, holding same-sided hitters to a mere .115 BA. Quijada struck out 52 batters in 40.2 innings, with his mid-90's fastball responsible for 96% of those strikeouts. That's what happens when you throw the pitch 85% of the time! Quijada boasts an impressive 31.6% strikeout rate for his career, but he'll need to improve his control - his career walk rate is 14.5% - to remain in the high-leverage picture. The Angels recent addition of Carlos Estevez clouds the competition for saves, but Quijada was unlikely to rack up many chances anyway. He's still worth projecting for a handful, which certainly plays in AL-only formats.
