Paul Sewald News
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald earned the save on Tuesday when he allowed a single and a walk to go along with a strikeout over a scoreless ninth inning in a 4-1 win over the San Diego Padres. Per usual, whenever he has a decent lead, Sewald pounded the strike zone when he came out for the ninth inning. It got a little dicey off the bat, though, as he allowed a single to Juan Soto and then walked Gary Sanchez after striking out Manny Machado. The drama subsided soon afterward as he punched out Jake Cronenworth and then induced a Brandon Dixon ground ball to end the game. It's worth noting that Andres Munoz returned to the Seattle bullpen tonight and worked a scoreless eighth inning before handing it over to Sewald. Munoz may snipe the occasional save from Sewald but his presence should help the veteran closer overall. For the season, the 33-year-old reliever owns a solid 2.84 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, and 35:8 K/BB ratio over 25 1/3 innings to go along with 12 saves.
Seattle Mariners relief pitcher Paul Sewald secured his 11th save of the season Thursday in a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics. Sewald looked great again in this one, notching two strikeouts and not allowing a baserunner in his inning of work. The righty has a 3.18 ERA and 0.88 WHIP with 30 strikeouts over 22 IP and has converted all 11 of his save opportunities. With Andres Munoz set to return soon, it will be interesting to see what the Mariners do with their high-leverage arms. Sewald has certainly pitched well enough to see the majority of save chances, but Munoz might vulture some of his saves.
Seattle Mariners reliever Paul Sewald picked up his 10th save of the season on Tuesday, tossing a clean ninth inning to help his team defeat the Oakland Athletics 3-2. He allowed no baserunners while striking out a pair and has still yet to blow a save. Sewald's running a 3.32 ERA and 0.92 WHIP with 28 punchouts over 21.2 innings, dominant numbers from the pen. When Andres Munoz (shoulder) returns from the injured list, the former may have some competition for the closer role. However, given his string of success, Sewald should remain the number one option in Seattle.

For the second consecutive season, Paul Sewald rode his fastball/slider duo to a dominant performance. Despite starting the season in a muddied committee, Sewald led the team with 20 saves. His 2.67 ERA and 2.64 xERA both set career bests, and amongst the 17 relievers with 20+ saves his .145 BAA was the lowest mark. The veteran should once again lead the team in save chances for 2023 which makes him a great value at his ~182 ADP, but some indicators such as a crazy low .158 BABIP and 30.6 GB% suggest it may not be quite as smooth as the past two years (3.88 FIP). The long term answer in Seattle is obviously Andres Munoz, and if Sewald stumbles a bit the keys could be handed to the 24 year old pretty quickly. If you want a monopoly on SEA saves, and one gnarly FrankenAce, get greedy and grab both.
