Carson Fair has been a bullpen weapon for Memphis
In the 2026 season, Carson Fair emerged as Memphis’ high-leverage right-hander, piling up 8 saves by April 22 and ranking second in the American and 13th nationally at that point[2]. He also posted a 3.50 ERA, a 1.17 WHIP, 19 strikeouts in 18.0 innings, and a .180 opponent batting average, which points to a pitcher who misses bats and protects tight leads[2]. The big differentiator: he’s a proven closer who can handle pressure, and Memphis trusted him in the biggest late-game spots all spring[2][12].
