2024 Fantasy Outlook
Munoz broke out in 2022 and carried that momentum into last season by recording Seattle's first save of 2023. Unfortunately, any hopes of him taking on more expansive closing duties were put on hold, as the right-hander suffered a shoulder sprain after just a few appearances. Munoz missed two months of action and was limited to setup duties upon his return with Paul Sewald locking down the 9th inning. When Sewald was traded, Munoz finally got some run as the M's closer. He recorded 11 of Seattle's 18 saves after the trade and finished the year with a career-high 13 overall. His strikeout and walk rates regressed a bit, but he maintained a 99th percentile whiff percentage (39.4%) and his groundball rate (59%) spiked since he implemented a sinker (19% pitch usage). Munoz enters 2024 as the favorite for closing duties in Seattle, but don't expect 70+ percent team save share. Munoz's health, plus the emergence of Matt Brash and Justin Topa, make a 50-60% share more realistic. Read Past Outlooks
Secures third win Saturday
Munoz (3-6) got the win against the Rangers on Saturday, firing a perfect ninth inning.
ANALYSIS
Munoz was called on to protect a 4-4 tie in the ninth inning and delivered by retiring Josh Jung, Ezequiel Duran and Carson Kelly on 11 pitches. The right-hander was then afforded his first victory since way back on May 5 via Randy Arozarena's game-winning single in the home half of the frame, putting a fitting bow on Munoz's third straight scoreless relief appearance. The Mariners' closer is enjoying a strong fantasy season overall, recording a career-high 21 saves to go along with six holds, a 2.10 ERA, an 0.95 WHIP and an 11.5 K/9 across 55.2 innings.

After signing a team-friendly, 4-year extension before the season, Munoz finally broke out in 2022, overcoming his biggest obstacle (health) to pitch a career-high 65 remarkable innings. The 24-year-old averaged 100.3 mph on his fastball and was in the 99th percentile or better in seven Statcast pitching metrics, including K%, whiff% and xERA/xWOBA. His 32.7% K-BB% was second-best among qualified relievers, while his 38.7% strikeout rate was fourth-best thanks to a slider that was among the best pitches in the league. Munoz limited baserunners (0.89 WHIP) to scale his way up Seattle's high leverage ladder, posting 22 holds while also getting a taste of closing with four saves. The Mariners have no financial reason to limit Munoz's save chances moving forward, so he could emerge as their primary closer in 2023. However, he must improve the effectiveness of his fastball (.338 BA, .500 SLG) and prove he's healthy after offseason foot surgery to take the next step.
