Calvin Faucher

Calvin Faucher

29-Year-Old PitcherRP
Miami Marlins
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Though he was denied an Opening Day roster spot, Faucher was recalled early in the 2024 campaign and established himself as one of Miami's more reliable relief pitchers. The 29-year-old quickly established himself in leverage situations and was elevated to Miami's closer role after the team traded its star relievers. Faucher recorded six of Miami's seven saves after the trade deadline and appeared poised to finish the year as the Marlins' closer before suffering a right shoulder impingement in September. While this ended his season prematurely, the right-hander posted a solid 3.19 ERA over 53.2 innings and did not allow a home run all year. Faucher's 11.1 percent walk rate leaves a lot to be desired, but health permitting, he's the current favorite to open 2025 as the Marlins closer. Whether he can maintain that role is to be determined, as Andrew Nardi, Jesus Tinoco, or a free-agent could take the the job fairly easily. Read Past Outlooks

Faucher struck out one batter in a perfect inning and picked up a save against the Reds on Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Faucher tossed seven of 10 pitches for strikes and had no issue retiring Cincinnati's 8-9-1 hitters in the 4-3 victory. It was his second save of the season and first since April 12. Faucher owns a 4.32 ERA across 8.1 innings. Anthony Bender pitched a scoreless eighth inning and Jesus Tinoco did not pitch after earning saves Sunday and Monday as the closer situation in Miami remains in a committee.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Faucher's spring debut was delayed over three weeks after he reported to camp with the oblique injury, but he displayed a mid-90s fastball and sharp mid-80s slider during the spring. Though he wasn't overly impressive in his first season in the majors in 2022, Faucher nonetheless has a chance to break camp with Tampa Bay in a low-leverage relief role. He has some upside given his strong minor league strikeout rates.
