Arizona Diamondbacks relief pitcher Paul Sewald tossed a clean ninth inning with one strikeout to earn his 11th save of the campaign. Since allowing one run in his first outing of the season on May 7, the 34-year-old has now tossed 14 consecutive shutout frames. Overall, he holds a near-perfect 0.57 ERA, 0.51 WHIP, and a 3:13 BB:K ratio. Sewald has strong metrics, such as a 5.6% barrel rate and 33.3% hard-hit rate, which suggest this dominance should continue in the second half of the season. The San Diego product remains a top option for saves and should continue to provide elite ratios along the way.

Sewald missed the start of the season due to an oblique injury but has looked dominant since his return. While his strikeout numbers are not in line with other elite closers, he does an excellent job of limiting hard contact with a 5.6% barrel rate and a 33.3% hard-hit rate. Sewald should remain a high-end option for saves during the second half of the season, pitching on a competing Arizona team.

Sewald has a firm grip on the closer's role in Arizona and should continue to provide strong fantasy numbers across the board for his managers.

Sewald struck out a pair and didn't allow a baserunner in his inning of work. The 33-year-old veteran was making just his second appearance of the season after recovering from an oblique strain that put him out of action for all of April and the first week of May.

He should continue to be the D-backs primary closer if he can stay healthy.
