2023 Fantasy Outlook
Pressly was seventh in the league with a career high 33 saves in 2022, which was impressive considering he was limited to just 50 appearances and 48.1 innings for the Astros. The veteran required an early trip to the injured list due to knee inflammation, then neck spasms put him on the shelf again later in the year. Neither injury was particulary lengthy, but prohibited Pressly from challenging for the league's saves lead. Those injuries and age (34) may deter some for 2023 drafts, but Pressly is coming off a season during which he posted career best marks in multiple categories, including WHIP (0.89), strikeout rate (35.7%) and K-BB percentage (28.6%). He was also dominant in the 2022 postseason with 13 strikeouts over 11 scoreless frames. What Pressly may lack compared to other top-end closers is innings volume, but he has been extremely consistent and should be drafted with confidence as one of the top five or six closers off the board again.

Pressly was fantastic for the fourth straight season after delivering a 2.25 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 26 saves in 28 chances for Houston. His 27.2 K-BB% ranked eighth among qualified relievers, while the spin rates on his curveball (100th percentile) and fastball (97th percentile) were elite. He also posted a career-best 55.5 GB% and 5.2 BB%. Since Pressly appeared in 64 games for the Astros, his contract vested to a fully guaranteed $10 million deal for 2022. He was one of only seven relievers in baseball who had a greater than 76% share of his team's total saves, but Houston was in the bottom half of the league in saves overall (34) since they won plenty of blowouts and had the fourth-best run differential (+205) in the league. However, Pressly is firmly entrenched as the Astros' closer and will be among the top 10 options drafted.
