Tyler Ferguson

31-Year-Old PitcherRP
Sacramento Athletics AAA
2025 Fantasy Outlook
After eight-plus seasons in the minors and another year playing independent ball, Ferguson got his first taste of the big leagues last season at 30 years old. The right-hander demonstrated excellent strikeout prowess, fanning 105 batters across 79.2 innings between the Athletics (51.1 innings) and Triple-A Las Vegas (28.1 innings). Ferguson mixed five pitches effectively, but his 96 mph fastball (39 percent usage) was his put-away pitch. The Vanderbilt alum's 11.6 percent walk rate (10th percentile) and 8.4 percent barrel percentage allowed (35th percentile) were glaring blemishes, while his minor-league track record (4.87 ERA, 1.53 WHIP) suggests we should expect ratio regression in 2025. Still, Ferguson should open the season in high-leverage for the Athletics, likely in a setup role. Read Past Outlooks

The Athletics optioned Ferguson to Triple-A Las Vegas on Monday.
Analysis
With nine holds and one save over his 36 appearances. Ferguson had been serving as one of the Athletics' higher-level relievers this season, but he'll end up losing his spot on the 26-man active roster after a rough June in which he turned in a 15.58 ERA, 2.54 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across 8.2 innings. The 31-year-old righty will give up his spot to righty Justin Sterner, who was recalled from Las Vegas.
