2023 Fantasy Outlook
Tepera stepped in as one of the Angels' second-half co-closers last season, tallying five saves over the final two months after Raisel Iglesias was traded. The veteran barely gave up hard contact, as his 28.2% hard hit rate was among the best in the league. On the flip side, his strikeout rate plummeted more than 10%, from over 30% in the 2020-21 seasons, to just 20.3% last year. Tepera lost 1.3 mph on average from his slider (85.2 mph), which was still his most effective offering, but more hittable (.191 BA) than normal, thus leading to far less Ks. Tepera has one year remaining on his contract with Los Angeles, so if the Angels fall out of playoff contention, look for them to trade the right-hander. In the meantime, he should factor into the team's high-leverage mix to open 2023 with plenty of holds and the occasional save. Read Past Outlooks

Maybe Tepera's mistaken 2020 MVP vote wasn't inadvertent after all as he recorded a career best 2.79 ERA last season, along with a personal high 22.9% K-BB%. That said, Tepera was aided by a .223 BABIP, helping to keep his ERA below its estimators. He gathered a career high 21 holds, along with a pair of saves. Tepera's strikeout rate is closer-worthy, though he doesn't have the experience some teams want from their ninth inning savoir. Even so, Tepera's skills are mixed-league worthy, so he merits a roster spot in formats where dominant relievers are useful, then you never know as teams are distributing saves among multiple relievers nowadays.
