2024 Fantasy Outlook
Leclerc opened 2023 in somewhat of a closer committee with Will Smith, but too many free passes forced the Rangers to scale back his high leverage workload. After some time pitching in low leverage spots, Leclerc landed on the IL with a right ankle sprain. He missed two weeks of action, then was much better upon his return, posting a 2.16 ERA, 0.99 WHIP and 42:13 K:BB over the final three months (33.2 innings). On his strong performance, the right-hander worked his way back up Texas' leverage ladder, finishing the regular season with 4 saves, 8 holds and respectable ratios. Leclerc tacked on another 4 saves across 13 playoff appearances, giving him some momentum heading into the 2024 season. With the Rangers exercising their $6.25 million option, Leclerc will continue to ride the success of his slider (.119 BAA, 49.6% whiff rate last season), but his perennially high walk rate may impact how many save chances he gets.
