2025 Player Outlook

After a failed brief attempt to revive his career as a starting pitcher, Puk returned to the bullpen where he delivered a lights-out performance for the remainder of 2024. His average fastball velocity jumped a full tick after the trade to Arizona, where he was used as a high-leverage reliever. He likely returns to that role in 2025, but it looks to be closer by committee rather than a solidified role for Puk.
