Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Caleb Kilian, 28-year-old RHP for the San Francisco Giants, has emerged as the primary closer option after earning two saves in May 2026. He recorded a four-out save on May 13 against the Dodgers and previously earned his first career save on May 5. With a 1.40 ERA, 1.09 WHIP, 19 strikeouts, and 12 walks over 19.1 innings, Kilian has established himself as the favorite for saves in the Giants' bullpen following Ryan Walker's struggles and Erik Miller's back injury. However, there are concerns about his high walk rate (15.2%) and potential regression, with a 4.50 FIP suggesting volatility. The team may implement a closer committee once Erik Miller returns from injury.
Strengths
