Anthony Nunez

Anthony Nunez

24-Year-Old PitcherRP
Baltimore Orioles
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Nunez was dealt to the Orioles by the Mets in late July as part of the return for Cedric Mullins. The 24-year-old has yet to make his big-league debut, but he's on the cusp of doing so after an impressive 2025 campaign that saw him progress to Triple-A Norfolk. Between three levels, the 6-foot-3 righty produced a 2.21 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 83:25 K:BB across 57 innings. Nunez mixes fives pitches fairly equally including a cutter and pair of mid-90's fastballs, but his slider and changeup have yielded the best results. He'll contend for a spot in the Orioles' bullpen during spring training. Read Past Outlooks

PBaltimore Orioles
April 22, 2026
Nunez earned the save in Wednesday's 8-6 win over the Royals, striking out two in a scoreless ninth inning.
Analysis
With Ryan Helsley landing on the bereavement list ahead of Wednesday's game, it was Nunez who got the call with Baltimore up by two in the ninth inning. The right-hander made quick work of the Royals, striking out a pair en route to his first major-league save. The 24-year-old Nunez has gotten off to an excellent start in his rookie campaign, earning a high-leverage role in Baltimore's bullpen. His ERA is down to 1.46 with a 0.65 WHIP and 15:2 K:BB across 12.1 innings.
