2026 Fantasy Outlook
Latz did not make the Rangers' Opening Day roster last season but wound up playing an important swingman role for them. In eight starts and a pair of bulk relief appearances for Texas, Latz posted a 2.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 36:19 K:BB over 49.2 innings of work. With a good fastball he can spot at the top of the strike zone, a changeup that induced whiffs at a 41 percent rate, and a slider that shows some promise, Latz has the repertoire of a starting pitcher. What he might not possess is enough control to make it work, having put up an 11.5 percent walk rate in the majors and an 11 percent walk rate in the minors. If he does win a spot in the Rangers' rotation, the left-hander could make for an interesting late-round fantasy selection. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rangers in March of 2026.
Nails down 18th save
Latz struck out two in a perfect ninth inning Tuesday to record his 18th save of the season in a 4-2 win over the Guardians.
Analysis
The southpaw continues to dominate as the Rangers' closer. Latz was scored upon in only one of 12 June appearances, posting a 1.13 ERA, 0.63 WHIP and 19:4 K:BB over 16 innings on the month while converting all 11 of his save chances. Despite not picking up his first save until late April, Latz sits third in the AL in the category, behind Cleveland's Cade Smith (26) and Tampa Bay's Bryan Baker (21).

2025 Fantasy Outlook
Latz opened 2024 in the majors and spent more time with the Rangers than in the minors for the first time since making his MLB debut in 2022. The left-hander danced around elevated walk (14.1 percent) and hard-hit (40.3 percent) rates to post a 3.71 ERA (5.01 xERA) over 43.2 innings before an August forearm injury. He finished out the season rehabbing and eventually had a late September activation to the minors. The Rangers lost several members of the 2024 bullpen, so there should be spots up for grabs during spring training. Latz is one of three lefty relievers, including Hobey Milner and Walter Pennington, that could earn a roster spot.
