Hidden Relief Pitchers Poised to Explode in 2026 Fantasy Baseball—Are You Ready to Discover Them?

Matt Svanson – St. Louis Cardinals (NFBC ADP: 359)

One of the ambiguous situations around the league, Riley O’Brien and Jojo Romero ended the season splitting save chances for the Cardinals. While both had solid seasons on the surface, their underlying skills suggest regression, with K-BB rates of 11.6% and 10.2%, respectively. Struggles for the incumbents could open the door for Svanson, who displayed the best skills in the St. Louis bullpen and produced incredible numbers in his first full season. The 27-year-old right-hander posted a 1.94 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 68 strikeouts over 60 1/3 innings. In contrast to O’Brien and Romero, Svanson finished with a strong 20.5% K-BB rate. The Cardinals may struggle to accumulate a high number of save chances, but keep an eye on Svanson as one of the more talented closers in waiting.
