James McArthur is a fantasy baseball waiver wire pickup for closers and saves. Target McArthur as a free agent relief pitcher for saves on the waiver wire.
BALLER MOVE: Add in 15+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 14% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: McArthur boasts more upside than William Smith, that’s for sure. He finally broke into the majors as a 26-year-old and posted a robust 2.78 FIP/2.80 xFIP/2.65 SIERA sabermetric profile underneath the 4.63 ERA.
James McArthur is making a strong case to close games for the Royals in 2024. Since recalled from Omaha (Sept. 1):
16.1 IP,
19 Ks
0.00 ERA
0.31 WHIP
4/4 SVThe right-hander has also looked dominant in spring. Definitely worth monitoring for fantasy.pic.twitter.com/V4qzH89sGe

Walking only two batters in 23.1 IP will help fuel that! If you like cherry-picking, only McArthur and Jacob deGrom had a K/BB above 10 out of 550 pitchers with >20 IP in ‘23. Wasn’t that fun?
