Jhoan Duran rebounded strongly in 2025, posting a 2.06 ERA across 70 innings with elite run suppression indicators, including a career-low 1.0% HR rate and a .564 OPS allowed, signaling a return to dominance after a shaky 2024. While his strikeout rate (27.9%) was down from his 2022-23 peak, improved command and consistently heavy ground-ball rates helped stabilize his ratios and WHIP. The 2026 projections continue to view him as a high-end closer with strong save totals and excellent ERA/WHIP support, even if the gaudy K/9 ceiling doesn't fully return. Given his age, power arsenal, and restored efficiency, Duran profiles as a reliable top-tier fantasy closer rather than the volatile arm he briefly appeared to be in 2024.
