Tim Herrin

28-Year-Old PitcherRP
Cleveland Guardians
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Herrin was excellent in a mostly low-leverage role for the Guardians in 2024. The 27-year-old southpaw tied for fifth in the league with 75 appearances and pitched to an impressive 1.92 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 68:25 K:BB across 65.2 innings. He added 16 holds, but didn't see consistent usage as a setup man. Herrin posted an above-average strikeout rate (26.5 percent) and produced plenty of ground balls, but struggled to find the strike zone (9.7 percent walk rate). Still, Herrin is likely to be one of the top lefties out of Cleveland's bullpen in 2025. Read Past Outlooks

PCleveland Guardians
April 12, 2025
Herrin (2-0) allowed one hit over 1.1 innings to pick up the win in Friday's 7-0 victory over the Royals.
ANALYSIS
Starter Tanner Bibee was pulled after giving up a fourth walk and with Cleveland leading, 3-0, in the fifth inning, paving the way for Herrin to vulture the win. The reliever has two wins and two holds over six appearances, allowing one run while striking out five over five innings. Herrin shined for the Guardians in 2024, posting a 1.92 ERA over 75 regular-season appearances (fifth in MLB). The lefty typically pitches when the Guardians are leading and/or to get out of trouble created by another pitcher.
