Hader had already been amazing, as he carried a 31:4 K:BB with just two runs allowed over 15.1 innings into Monday's outing. But this performance was one of the greatest regular season relief outings of all-time, the first eight-out save in which all eight outs were recorded via strikeout, and it all came with Hader and the Brewers nursing just a one-run lead. Corey Knebel is nearing a return to action, and the Brewers have proved more than willing to use him in non-save situations, but the way Hader is pitching, he will be one of the best fantasy relievers out there even if he won't be pitching in a traditional closer's role. Hader's 39 strikeouts have him tied for 23rd in the majors among all pitchers, an eye-popping total that has powered Hader to a 1.00 ERA.

He did issue 1 walk. But still. The Reds didn't touch the ball. 2 fouls balls on 2-strike counts.

Nice game against a sub par team, let's see if he ends up doing what Chad Green did last year.

69 innings, 103K's, 1.83 ERA, 0.739WHIP - 5 wins not loses.

He struck out 7 Cardinals in 2.2 innings in two appearances and struck out 3 Cubbies in 2 IP. Two of his 6+ K games last year came against the Cubs and Yanks.

He's having a great season, let's see if he can sustain that for the rest of the season.

Some Reds chartgraph said Hader was getting a generous zone but he's done that to them at least 3 other times.
I think he got in their heads.

Drafted him late in my draft.

Been using him every week in my P slot.

He's had one bad outing and is still 2-0, 2.08era with 19K's in 13 innings. BY the end of the year I expect his numbers to be somewhere around where he was last year.

19.5 K/9 in any full month of work is amazing!
