2023 Fantasy Baseball Week 14 Closer Tracker: Scott Barlow, Aroldis Chapman, More
Welcome to the Week 14 Closer Tracker!
In the chart below, I’ve created a Closer Tracker that will hopefully stay ahead of the closer curve. I’m going to update this every Friday for the rest of the season, so please feel free to send feedback if there’s anything you’d like to see.
The Closer Tracker is organized in three ways:
- In the left column, you’ll find my closer power rankings. This order is based on a mix of current statistics weighted (in my mind) with how I think these players will perform over the rest of the season.
- In the third column, you’ll see my best attempt at quantifying how stable a closer’s job is. Or said another way, how closely do you have to pay attention to this situation?
- In the right column, you’ll find the player who looks to be next in line. If you see SHAKY in the third column, you should probably grab the player next in line off the waiver wire.
Lastly, keep scrolling all the way to the bottom for my top takeaways. I promise this isn’t a marketing trick – I just don’t want to spoil the Closer Tracker.

Top Week 14 Closer Takeaways:
- The Royals have become sellers and they may not be done. Scott Barlow is the closer (for now) with Aroldis Chapman dealt to the Rangers, but Barlow might be next. If you're looking for saves, it's a good idea to scoop up Taylor Clarke and Carlos Hernandez.
- Chapman will set up Will Smith in Texas, but I wouldn't be shocked if this turns into a committee.
- Daniel Hudson seems to have become the setup guy for the Dodgers if you're looking to back up Evan Phillips.
- Ditto Hector Neris as Ryan Pressly's backup.
- Tanner Scott has become A.J. Puk's next-in-line for the Marlins.
