2025 Player Outlook
Megill was excellent for Milwaukee in 2024, posting 21 saves, a 2.72 ERA, and 1.01 WHIP across 48 appearances. He held down the fort while Devin Williams was out, and the ninth inning role is all his in 2025. In the ninth inning or later last season, Megill posted a 2.43 ERA 6.6 K/BB ratio, and 1.04 WHIP. Heading into 2025, expect Megill’s overpowering fastball velocity to beautifully set up his curveball, and that bender should flourish yet again (.167 BAA, 55% whiff rate). Milwaukee should be in position to win a lot of ball games in 2025, and Megill should have a relatively long leash in the ninth inning. He’s a phenomenal value at his current ADP, and to be frank, he seems significantly underpriced.
