On The Wire - In this episode of On The Wire, hosts Kevin Hasting and I break down the Saves category and how to approach closers in 2026 fantasy baseball drafts. We discuss draft strategy, bullpen volatility, and how to identify which closers are worth paying for versus targeting value later in drafts. We also look at several bullpens that could produce surprise saves and highlight relievers who could emerge during the season. Whether you prefer paying up for elite closers or waiting and building a bullpen through value picks and waiver wire churn, this episode will help you navigate one of fantasy baseball's most unpredictable categories.

Players discussed: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Josh Hader 3:00 – Draft philosophy for saves Kevin and Adam discuss whether fantasy managers should draft elite closers early or take a “save-a-lot” approach by targeting multiple value arms later in drafts. Players discussed: Edwin Diaz, Devin Williams, Josh Hader, Mason Miller, Ryan Helsley 11:30 – The elite closer tier Discussion of the top-tier closers who provide strong strikeout rates, stable roles, and league-leading save potential.

Players discussed: Tanner Scott, Robert Suarez, Kenley Jansen, David Bednar, Yohan Duran 36:30 – Riskier closers and uncertain bullpens Teams where the closer role could shift during the season and relievers whose job security may not be stable. Players discussed: Luke Weaver, Andrew Kittredge, Jeremiah Estrada, Matt Brash, Cade Smith 50:00 – Late-round saves targets Relievers going later in drafts who could still provide meaningful saves or emerge as their team's closer. Players discussed: Matt Brash, Hunter Gaddis, Cade Smith, Garrett Whitlock 1:02:00 – Speculative relievers and potential breakout arms Setup men and high-skill bullpen arms who could move into the closer role if situations change. Players discussed: Jeremiah Estrada, Dylan Lee, Aroldis Chapman, Matt Brash, Hunter Gaddis 1:11:30 – Final saves strategy thoughts We wrap up with key takeaways for approaching the saves category and how to manage bullpen volatility during the fantasy season.

On The Wire - Adam Howe and Kevin Hasting continue their 2026 fantasy baseball draft preview series by shifting focus to pitching volume categories — Wins and Strikeouts. The discussion centers on why fantasy managers must actively chase volume, how innings pitched drive both categories, and which late-round starters and speculative arms can help managers compete without paying early-round pitching prices.

Below is a breakdown of the episode with estimated timestamps and players discussed.00:00 – 09:00 | Intro + Draft Season Philosophy Topics Draft season approach and league activity Why Wins remain a category you must intentionally target Relationship between innings pitched, team quality, and fantasy success Players Mentioned Tarik Skubal Paul Skenes Garrett Crochet09:00 – 22:00 | Why Volume Matters for Wins & Strikeouts Topics Correlation between workload and strikeouts Importance of pitching deep into games Team offense and bullpen effects on wins Drafting SP tiers vs elite aces Players Mentioned Yusei Kikuchi José Soriano Reid Detmers Luis Severino Mitch Keller Brandon Pfaadt22:00 – 38:00 | Mid-Round Targets for Strikeout Volume Topics Targeting pitchers projected for stable rotation roles Using projections vs role certainty Drafting innings over pure ratios in this build Players Mentioned David Peterson Clay Holmes Will Warren38:00 – 52:00 | Late-Round Wins & Strikeout Targets Topics Endgame starters who stick in rotations Opportunity-driven pitching value Accepting ratio risk when chasing volume Players Mentioned Will Warren David Peterson Cade Cavalli52:00 – 1:05:00 | Streaming Strategy & Roster Management Topics Streaming pitchers to capture breakout arms early Building ratio cushions to allow aggressive streaming Managing roster churn early in season Players Mentioned Justin Verlander Seth Lugo Michael Wacha1:05:00 – 1:11:29 | Final Targets + Draft Takeaways Topics Early-season matchup plays Why reserve-round pitchers matter Maximizing roster flexibility for volume accumulation Players Mentioned Cade Cavalli Justin Verlander Join Our Discord & Support The Show: PL+ | PL Pro - Get 15% off Yearly with code PODCASTProud member of the Pitcher List Fantasy Baseball Podcast Network Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome back to another episode of Benched with Bubba. On BwB EP 718, Bubba (@bdentrek) continues his team-by-team previews for the 2025 fantasy baseball season. Kevin Hasting (@hastingkevin) will join him in previewing the Kansas City Royals.

Kevin Hasting from Pitcher List and the "On The Wire" podcast joins Sara and Shelly to discuss some key player takeaways one quarter of the way into the MLB season.Discussions:Blue Jays hitters have underperformed since the renovations to the Rogers Centre and Bo Bichette is off to a particularly slow start. Is there cause for concern or is it just a cold stretch?William Contreras is the fourth most valuable hitter in baseball according to the FanGraphs player rater, is this a breakout or just a hot streak?Closer chaos: closers get pushed up every draft season, but the most valuable closers so far weren't in the top tier during draft season. Are early closers a good investment? The Rays are Raysing and this time Jonny DeLuca and Richie Palacios find themselves fighting for playing time -- who do we like more rest of season?Michael Massey has been hot recently would you rather take a chance on Massey or stick with a proven guy like Jeff McNeil?Jack Flaherty is off to a great start, is it sustainable?Love it or Leave itBaseball is better when everyone competes and we love seeing the Nationals, Tigers, Royals, Athletics and other teams hovering around .500.Gunnar Henderson had an epic Star Wars bat for May the Fourth be with you celebrations.Dexter Fowler was drafted out of high school but  promised his parents he'd finish his degree. He kept his word and graduated from Penn State this week.Guest: Kevin HastingHosts: Sara Sanchez | Shelly Verougstraete   Join: PL+ | PL ProProud member of the Pitcher List Podcast Network
