Kloffenstein was placed on Triple-A Memphis' 7-day injured list in late July due to right shoulder discomfort, and the injury was serious enough for him to be sidelined for the rest of the 2024 campaign. He went 4-5 across 17 starts in Triple-A and posted a 4.74 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 73:41 K:BB across 89.1 innings.

This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.

* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
Most top prospects spent the summer at alternate training sites, but Kloffenstein took a road less traveled. He played indy ball in a four-team league in Texas -- the continent's highest level of organized baseball outside of MLB in 2020. At 19, he was the youngest player in the league by four years, often facing Triple-A and Quad-A hitters. His pitching coach was none other than the league's founder, Roger Clemens. He was limited to three-inning stints and logged almost a strikeout per inning while firing scoreless outings in five of his last eight appearances. Perhaps most importantly, Kloffenstein's five-pitch mix is now headlined by a four-seamer that touches 99 mph and a sinker that touches 97. The 6-foot-5, 245-pound righty's slider is a third plus pitch, and he's working on getting his curveball and changeup there as well. Harnessing his command will be his top priority in his full-season debut.
Toronto gave Kloffenstein first-round money ($2.45 million) after selecting him in the third round in 2018. The 6-foot-5 righty barely pitched after signing, but he lived up to the hype in 2019, dominating Northwest League hitters while showcasing a deep arsenal. He doesn't turn 20 until August, but already has a low-90s fastball that touches 95 mph and a curveball, slider and changeup that could all be above-average or better. His 60.1 GB% was elite and he logged a 1.61 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 47:15 K:BB in 44.2 innings over his final eight starts. He is listed at 243 pounds, and while the paint is dry on his physical development, he carries that weight well, looking the part of a prototypical power starter who eats innings. Given his age, it's possible that all four pitches improve over the next couple years, but they won't have to for him to be a mid-rotation starter.

Kloffenstein could be available to be called up to start Saturday against the Cubs, per Jeff Jones of the Belleville News-Democrat.
ANALYSIS
The 23-year-old made his previous start for Triple-A Memphis over the weekend, potentially lining him up to make his MLB debut on Saturday. Kloffenstein has a 4.84 ERA through nine starts this season, but he's looked better over his past three outings with a 3.00 ERA and 0.89 WHIP over 18 innings.
