Victor Vodnik in mix for Rockies closer role

Victor Vodnik is a candidate to handle save opportunities for the Rockies to begin the season, per Patrick Saunders of The Denver Post. Vodnik tied for second on the team with nine saves in 2024 but struggled with command, posting a 1.48 WHIP and an 11.6% walk rate.

Fantasy Impact

Vodnik’s control issues (11.6% BB rate) and modest 20.3% strikeout rate limit his upside, but he remains in contention for ninth-inning duties alongside Seth Halvorsen and Tyler Kinley. The Rockies’ closer role is unsettled, making Vodnik a potential speculative add in deep leagues, though he’ll need to show improved control to maintain the job long-term.
