Fantasy Baseball Closers – is there a more polarizing and frustrating position in the fantasy game? That’s why Fantasy Alarm brings you the Fantasy Baseball Closer Grid for well over a decade and the reason why so many people bookmark this page when they get there.

What is the Closer Grid? It’s simple. It’s a one-stop shop for all your fantasy baseball relief pitcher/closer needs. Not only do we list the closers for each MLB team, but we also go into the bullpen two more times so you know who’s next in line to collect saves for your fantasy baseball lineups.

There are always MLB relief pitchers who could rise in the fantasy baseball rankings and also in our 2024 fantasy baseball projections. It’s also important to know each MLB team’s bullpen lineup, especially if you’re dealing with players listed on the MLB injury report, looking for fantasy baseball waiver wire targets, or keeping an eye on the top MLB talent.

Sometimes the future successor is obvious, but in many cases that is not the case when it comes to saves and holds. We look at things like skill, contact rates, pitch control, pitch mix, how many left-handed hitters are in the bullpen, who has worked as a closer before, who has experience in high-pressure situations, and most importantly, job security. Also, check out MLB Player News for the latest updates on bullpen situations in the MLB.

GREEN will be those with great talent, ample opportunities and a high level of job security. The level below will be in YELLOW followed by ORANGE and finally RED to indicate who may currently have the job but could lose it due to a serious incident.
