Ryan Helsley News
St. Louis Cardinals relief pitcher Ryan Helsley earned his 14th save of the year Sunday against the Reds. Helsley shut the Reds down in the ninth inning as he worked a scoreless inning while holding on to a run-one lead. The inning wasn't pretty, as he gave up a single and a double. However, the 29-year-old settled down and closed the season out for St. Louis. The right-hander ends the season with a 3-4 record and a 2.44 ERA in over 36 innings pitched.
St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley picked up his 13th save of the season in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Brewers. Helsley entered the game to pitch the bottom of the ninth up by three and struck out the side to shut the door. While the 29-year-old did miss a portion of the season with a right forearm strain, he has pitched well overall this season, converting 13 of 18 save opportunities with a 2.52 ERA, a 12.62 K/9 rate, and a 4.29 BB/9 rate. Hopefully, he will be able to stay healthy and solidify his role in 2024.
St. Louis Cardinals closer Ryan Helsley picked up his 12th save of the season in Monday's 1-0 win over the Brewers. Helsley came in to pitch the top of the ninth up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. The 29-year-old has returned to form since rejoining the team in September and now has a 2.43 ERA and 12.15 K/9 rate over 33 1/3 innings pitched this season. Helsley should be a solid fantasy contributor down the stretch.

Ryan Helsley emerged as a bullpen asset for the Cardinals in late 2021 and last season, he became one of the premiere relievers in baseball. This year, he could very well end up being a top-three closer in fantasy. Helsley began the year sharing the ninth inning with Giovanny Gallegos but impressed to the point he gained the sole role, finishing the year with a 9-1 W-L record, 1.25 ERA, 0.74 WHIP, 94 Ks and 19 saves (64.2 IP). Helsley's 93.4% LOB% won't sustain into 2023 but his 2.04 xERA, 2.60 xFIP and 2.02 SIERA all suggest his ERA could be around 2.00 even if that regresses. His 39.3% K% (which ranked in the 99th percentile) will also help to mitigate baserunners he allows. Helsley's 99.6 MPH average fastball velocity ranked fifth among all pitchers and was in the 99th percentile for spin rate which helps explain why it had a measly .212 wOBA and .233 SLG against it. If he can maintain last year's levels, even with some LOB% regression towards the norm, Helsley should have no problems topping 30 saves and could end the season as a top five reliever in fantasy, outperforming his ADP of ~73 (tenth among relief pitchers).
