2024 Fantasy Outlook
Tied for 2nd in the majors with a career-high 39 saves, Doval cemented himself as one of the top closers in the game last season. After introducing a sinker to his aresenal during the second-half of 2022, the pitch wasn't as effective last year (.303 BAA), but Doval generated a career-best 49.3% whiff rate on his slider, while his 100-mph cutter was the best it has ever been. The 26-year-old struck out far more batters with his cutter than years past, with 36 of his career-high 87 strikeouts coming via the pitch. Still, Doval mixed his three pitches quite evenly, making it more difficult for opposing hitters to predict what was coming. Walks are still an issue for Doval, leading to a higher WHIP than you'd like to see for a closer, but he balances that out with a 50-plus perecent groundball rate. Doval led qualified relievers with a 2.14 gmLI and he has little competition in San Francisco, thus making him a back-end top 10 closer for 2024. Read Past Outlooks

Earns four-out save
PSan Francisco Giants
April 15, 2024
Doval picked up the save Monday, allowing one hit and no walks with two strikeouts across 1.1 scoreless innings.
ANALYSIS
Doval retired four of the five batters he faced Monday to earn his second save of the campaign. After racking up 39 saves a season ago, Doval has only seen two save chances and has only made four appearances this far. however, he'll likely have opportunities to enhance those numbers with two more games coming against the 3-14 Marlins and a four-game series against the Diamondbacks left this week.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Best NL reliever in May
PSan Francisco Giants
June 6, 2023
Doval was named the NL Reliever of the Month for May on Tuesday after he tallied 11 saves with just two earned runs allowed over 13.2 innings.
ANALYSIS
The 25-year-old recorded just three saves in four chances during the first month of the season, but he rattled off 11 straight saves in May and had a 23:4 K:BB in 14 appearances. Doval totaled 27 saves for the Giants last season and is well on pace to top that figure in 2023 with 14 through San Francisco's first 59 games. He also has a 2.10 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 37.1 percent strikeout rate this year.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Despite some initial uncertainty around the Giants closer role at the start of 2022, expectations for Doval were high in his first full big league season. The 25-year-old quickly solidified himself as San Francisco's primary closer, tallying 27 of the Giants' 39 saves for a 69.2% share that was ninth highest among closers. Doval's slider was nastier than ever - in fact, it was one of the best pitches in the league as measured by Statcast run value (-17). However, his cutter wasn't performing to expectations (.340 BAA) despite his 99th percentile velocity. A two-week rough stretch forced Doval to rethink his approach and he introduced a new sinker in mid-July. The pitch was a game changer for him, as it produced a -17.3 degree average launch angle that was the lowest against any pitch in the majors (min 50 BBE). With an already intimidating arsenal, the sky is the limit for Doval in 2023. He should be among the top 10 closers drafted.
Doval got his first taste of the majors last April, but it did not go smoothly. Through his first 13 appearances, the 23-year-old registered a 7.59 ERA and was charged with three blown saves. He allowed four home runs in 10.2 innings before the Giants sent him back to the minors. Fortunately, Doval was a different pitcher upon his September call up. Armed with a wipeout slider (59% pitch %) and fastball (41%) that nearly topped out at 102-mph, he finished the campaign with a 4-0 record and three saves over 14.1 scoreless innings. He even served as the Giants closer during the NLDS with all their relievers available. Doval has exciting upside and a bright high-leverage future ahead of him, but banking on him being San Francisco's full-time closer might be a mistake with Jake McGee and Tyler Rogers back for 2022. He should still be in the mix for saves, but how many is difficult to project at the moment.
