RotoGraphs, a cornerstone of FanGraphs’ fantasy baseball coverage, is renowned for its data-driven insights and strategic advice, helping fans navigate the complexities of roto-leagues. The Beat the Shift Podcast, hosted by Paul Sporer and Justin Mason, dives deep into player evaluations, and this episode zeroes in on the unpredictable world of relief pitchers—closers, setup men, and sleeper picks. Greg Jewett, a respected analyst from Reliever Recon and contributor to The Athletic, brings his bullpen expertise to the table, offering fans a roadmap for drafting in a year marked by shifting closer roles and new MLB rules like expanded rosters.
With the 2025 season underway, bullpen dynamics are hotter than ever. Stars like Ryan Helsley and Emmanuel Clase dominate saves, but uncertainties—such as the Yankees’ closer carousel or the Cubs’ bullpen shuffle—make Jewett’s insights invaluable. The episode likely covers strategies for navigating volatile saves, identifying late-round gems like Mason Miller, and adapting to the pitch clock’s impact on relievers. Available at fantasy.fangraphs.com, the podcast taps into the growing fantasy baseball community on X, where fans are already buzzing about draft strategies and Jewett’s track record.
This release follows RotoGraphs’ tradition of timely content, often dropping in March or April to align with Opening Day. While the 2023 episode with Jewett set the stage for that season’s relief pitcher landscape, the 2025 version promises updated stats, injury risks, and breakout candidates. Fantasy managers can access it for free via FanGraphs’ site or podcast platforms, with premium membership ($50/year) unlocking deeper tools. As drafts ramp up, this episode could be the edge fans need to dominate their leagues in 2025.
