Jose Alvarado is a relief pitcher fantasy baseball draft sleeper, and an ADP draft value for 2024. Target Alvarado as an undervalued RP in fantasy baseball drafts.
BALLER MOVE: Target in drafts ~pick 171
CURRENT ADP: ~183 overall
ANALYSIS: Jose Alvarado was awesome last year. He pitched to a 1.74 ERA, 2.82 xERA, and 1.16 WHIP with a 37 percent strikeout rate. The issue is he picked up just 10 saves as he took a backseat to Craig Kimbrel while also missing some time. Kimbrel is gone and Alvarado is lined up to be the Phillies' full-time closer. ATC projects him for 23 saves, a 3.10 ERA, 1.25 WHIP, and a 33 percent strikeout rate.
Walks will always ding his WHIP, but if he stays healthy, Alvarado can make a huge impact and you will not have to pay a super steep price to get him.
Jose Alvarado slams the door to secure a @Phillies win!
FINAL: NYM 4, PHI 5 pic.twitter.com/SJFJtCXynW
