Seth Halvorsen DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Colorado Rockies reliever Seth Halvorsen struck out one over 1 1/3 innings to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Tampa Bay Rays. Halvorsen entered the eighth inning to protect a one-run lead. With two outs and runners on first and second base, Halvorsen got Yandy Diaz to ground out to end the inning. The 25-year-old made quick work of the Rays in the ninth to notch his first save of the season. He converted both save opportunities while posting a 1.46 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and a 13:2 K:BB across 12 1/3 innings in 2024. Halvorsen finished strong last season and earned more save opportunities with his performance in Saturday's win. Fantasy managers searching for saves should look to add Halvorsen off the waiver wire, as he's rostered in just 3% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues.

Colorado Rockies pitching prospect Seth Halvorsen allowed five earned runs on Tuesday afternoon. Halvorsen was only able to get two outs. He allowed three hits and served up two free passes. Halvorsen is competing for a spot on the Opening Day roster. However, this poor showing could put him in danger of opening the season in the minor leagues. Last summer, Halvorsen made his MLB debut and tossed 12 1/3 innings to the tune of a 1.46 ERA with a 0.81 WHIP. He tallied two saves and generated an elite .196 xBA. Earlier in the season, the 25-year-old logged 44 1/3 innings across Double and Triple-A and posted a 4.47 ERA with a 1.47 WHIP. He tallied 56 strikeouts while serving up 23 walks. If he were to open the season in the minor leagues, Victor Vodnik and Tyler Kinley could see more save opportunities.

Colorado Rockies relief pitchers Seth Halvorsen and Victor Vodnik are currently competing for the closer role during spring training. The bullpen was a big reason why the Rockies lost over 100 games last season. The organization is hopeful that some of their younger arms can take big steps forward in 2025. Vodnik might be the favorite for the closer role considering he took over the role for part of the season last year. He registered a 4.28 ERA, 1.48 WHIP, and 65/37 K/BB ratio across 64 games last season. He notched nine saves as well, which is decent considering the Rockies weren't winning a ton of games. Halvorsen has less MLB experience, but posted a 1.46 ERA and 0.81 WHIP across 12 games with the Rockies last season. Honestly, neither player will probably offer a ton of fantasy value unless the Rockies are able to find more success as a team in 2025.
