2024 Fantasy Outlook
Aleman posted a strong 36.7 K-BB% and didn't allow a run in 24 innings while notching seven saves at Double-A last season. His fastball reportedly touches 100 mph and sits in the upper-90s and his slider is his go-to offspeed pitch. He's a darkhorse future closer or impact reliever.
