In 2025, Megill established career-high marks for appearances (50), innings pitched (47), strikeouts (60), wins (six) and saves (30). While he didn't pitch enough innings to qualify, he still finished eighth in the league in saves. Surprisingly, the 32-year-old managed to stay healthy for a good chunk of the campaign, but was sidelined throughout much of September due to an elbow strain. Megill returned in time for the 2025 postseason, but didn't record any saves across five appearances. The towering right-hander relied less on his 99 mph fastball last season, opting to throw more knuckle-curves at a career-high 40 percent clip. Megill's .121 BAA and 48.9 percent whiff rate on the pitch were among the best in the league for that pitch type. While Megill currently sits atop Milwaukee's closer hierarchy, his durability history and the presence of Abner Uribe make him a risky bet for 30-plus saves again in 2026. On average, he's been the 13th closer off the board in early 2026 drafts. Read Past Outlooks
