2024 Fantasy Outlook
After a poor spring, the Twins optioned Megill to Triple-A St. Paul to begin the season. Further struggles prompted the club to designate the reliever in late April. The Brewers acquired Megill from the Twins and sent him to Triple-A Nashville. Megill spent the rest of the season alternating between the minor and majors. While with the Brewers, Megill posted a 3.63 ERA over 34.2 innings, but a bloated .407 BABIP fueled an inflated 1.36 WHIP. Megill fanned 35.1 percent of batters, and yielded just two homers, so the excess traffic didn't hurt him too much. Megill throws a 99-mph four-seam fastball 72 percent of the time, mixing in the curve. Curiously, Megill's career BABIP is .393. Megill has the stuff to be late-inning reliever, but until he figures out to calm down his high hit rate, he'll likely work in lower leverage scenarios. Read Past Outlooks

Collects 21st save
PMilwaukee Brewers
September 27, 2024
Megill picked up the save in Friday's 8-4 victory over the Mets, pitching 1.1 scoreless innings while allowing one hit. He struck out one.
ANALYSIS
With typical closer Devin Williams completing a 21-pitch save Thursday, manager Pat Murphy called upon Megill, who secured his first save since July 23. The 30-year-old flamethrower required only 14 pitches -- 13 of which were strikes -- to complete his first save of more than three outs this season. Overall, Megill has been one of the most dependable relievers in the league, pitching to a 2.72 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 50:14 K:BB with 21 saves across 46.1 total innings.

Super Early 2025 Top 300 Rankings
8 days ago
James Anderson ranks the top 300 players for 2025 fantasy baseball leagues, in which Brewers' phenom Jackson Chourio is pushing towards the first round!
2020 Fantasy Outlook
Making a difference as a Rule 5 draftee is a tall task, one the 6-foot-8 Megill has a chance to accomplish after being selected by the Cubs after being left off the Padres 40-man roster. Megill's 4.47 ERA and 1.50 WHIP last season for Triple-A El Paso don't tell the whole story. A bloated .411 BABIP inflated his hits and led to an ERA well over the associated 3.46 FIP and 3.41 xFIP. The Cubs are banking their infield defense along with Megill's dominant 32.3 percent strikeout rate helps fortify their bullpen. He's had injury issues, with a reconstructed elbow in college and bone spurs costing him the 2016 season. The health history has forced Megill to focus on relief, where his 95-mph fastball and power breaking stuff excel. He isn't likely to see late-inning duty right away, but his strikeouts play in NL-only formats and he could work his way into hold or even save opportunities down the line.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Leading candidate to close in MIL?
PMilwaukee Brewers
March 26, 2024
David Adler of MLB.com projects Megill as the Brewers' primary closer on Opening Day.
ANALYSIS
It's just one writer's projection, but it's interesting given there have been no real hints from new manager Pat Murphy as to who might close with Devin Williams sidelined by a back injury. Along with Megill, Joel Payamps and Abner Uribe are considered the most likely candidates for the ninth. Megill has a blistering fastball that averaged 99.1 mph last season, while his knuckle-curve is a great swing-and-miss pitch. He's made seven appearances this spring, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out seven over seven innings.
