“Shocking Closer Shakeup: Romano’s Collapse Paves the Way for Clase’s Rising Star Moment!”

Though they don’t have the same eclectic high-velocity stuff as Rodríguez, Justin Sterner and Bryan King are two more relievers on the rise with their respective teams. Sterner was claimed by the Athletics off waivers from the Rays in November. The move is paying off early as Sterner has pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings with 11 strikeouts and is already working his way into late-inning work behind Mason Miller. Meanwhile, King is off to a good start with the Astros. The 28-year-old left-hander has struck out nine batters over 5 2/3 scoreless frames. He recorded a 2.39 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, and 32 strikeouts over 26 1/3 innings for Houston in 2024.
