Josh Hader

If you want the safest path to saves and pure upside in short relief, Josh Hader is your man right now; he has 14 saves and a 1.23 ERA while punching out 33 batters in 22 innings, an elite swing-and-miss profile that makes him a high-ceiling closer. He has made seven appearances in the last 15 game weeks, was activated after missing the start of the season with a biceps issue, and looks firmly in Houston's high-leverage role, which supports Sorare's projections of 21.9 and 27.3 points and the model confidence marked HIGH; that pedigree gives him a strong floor in save opportunities but a capped innings ceiling and the usual closer volatility, so treat him as a high-probability source of saves with upside on strikeouts and occasional scoreless innings runs.
