While his save count is impressive, his FIP and WHIP suggest potential volatility, which could be concerning. However, his consistent save opportunities in high-leverage situations keep him relevant in all fantasy formats, especially in leagues that heavily reward saves.

Fantasy Impact

Despite not recording any strikeouts, Finnegan effectively managed contact to preserve the win. His season ERA now sits at 3.36, with a WHIP of 1.27, maintaining his role as a reliable closer for fantasy teams. However, his lower strikeout rate (8.5 K/9) and higher FIP (4.36) suggest some caution; he isn't overpowering hitters, and his success is somewhat dependent on solid defense and favorable ball-in-play outcomes. Fantasy managers should continue to deploy him as a save source but be wary of potential rough patches if his strikeout rate doesn't improve.

His ability to maintain a solid strikeout rate (8.7 K/9) and a decent WHIP (1.30) keeps him relevant in fantasy leagues, particularly for those in need of saves.

His performance this season has been a mixed bag, characterized by a decent ERA of 3.52 and a WHIP of 1.25, but his FIP of 4.60 and a lower K/9 rate suggest some underlying concerns. Fantasy managers should be cautious; while he's racking up saves, his peripherals indicate potential volatility. Holding onto Finnegan might be wise for now due to his role, but be prepared for some bumps along the way.
