Josh Hader's 2024 season has been a rollercoaster, with home run issues plaguing his performance. After a tough April, he struggled in July and September, allowing significant runs mostly due to homers. Despite a career-high in wins and strikeouts, fantasy owners are hoping for more saves from the Astros' arm. Hader's fastball speed aligns with last year, but his heavy reliance on the sinker and slider has created vulnerabilities against right-handed hitters.

Bryan Abreu, Hader's handcuff, has shown talent with an impressive ERA and WHIP, but inconsistencies against lefties jeopardize his path to the closer role. Rostered together, Hader offers potential saves while Abreu stands as a safeguard. The combined prospects for fantasy owners look promising yet require careful monitoring.
