It’s no secret that Josh Hader has been a force to be reckoned with on the mound throughout his major league career. From being virtually unhittable at the start of his career to ranking among the top closers in recent years, Hader’s performance has been nothing short of exceptional.

Hader’s impressive skill set is undoubtedly thanks to his devastating fastball and slider combination, which has been keeping opposing batters guessing since his early days in the majors. With a baffling angle that leaves hitters feeling bamboozled, it’s no wonder Hader has been striking out batters at a historic pace.

While his career has seen a few ups and downs, such as struggling with the long-ball in some seasons, Hader’s consistent ability to strike out batters with ease has cemented him as an elite late-inning option. In fact, in 2019, Hader ranked among the league leaders with 34 saves in just 35 chances, making him a fantasy baseball goldmine.

Despite the growing cost associated with Hader as he inches closer to free agency, he’s undoubtedly one of the top closers available. A trade may be possible if Milwaukee finds itself out of playoff contention, but it’s safe to say that wherever Hader lands, he’ll be racking up the strikeouts and helping to shut down opposing teams.

As Hader’s career continues to unfold, it’ll be interesting to see if his fastball/slider combo remains as dominant as ever or if he continues to incorporate a changeup into his repertoire. Either way, it’s clear that Josh Hader has already solidified his place as one of the top relievers in baseball – and a top choice for fantasy baseball aficionados everywhere.
