2022 Fantasy Outlook
After saving a dozen games for the White Sox in the abbreviated 2020 campaign, the Twins signed Colome to shore up the back end of their bullpen, ticketed to share closing duties with Taylor Rogers. Over his first nine appearances, Colome logged two saves, but blew three others and was saddled with three losses. He posted a 8.31 ERA and 1.96 WHIP in those 8.2 innings, fanning 10 but walking five. Colome was then used in a middle relief capacity where he recorded a 3.64 ERA and 1.35 WHIP with five holds over his next 29.2 frames. After Hansel Robles was dealt at the trade deadline, Colome was reinstated at closer, logging 15 saves over the final two months while registering a 3.38 ERA and 1.27 WHIP in his last 26.2 stanzas. Colome should be the favorite to close in Colorado after signing a one-year deal, but his low strikeout rate leaves him vulnerable to poor stretches. He had a 53.7 percent groundball rate in 2021 which would play well at Coors Field, but there won't be much room for error. Read Past Outlooks

Earns second win
Colome (2-0) did not allow a baserunner while striking out one in a scoreless eighth inning to earn the win Saturday against the Padres.
ANALYSIS
Colome entered the game in the eighth inning with the score knotted at four. He needed only 10 pitches to retire the side, and he has now turned in 17 consecutive scoreless appearances. Colome has a 2.13 ERA and 1.22 WHIP on the season, and he appears to be next in line for saves should Daniel Bard suffer an injury.

Colome recorded double-digit saves for the fifth straight season, shutting the door successfully in 12 of his 13 opportunities. He did a remarkable job keeping runs off the board, allowing just three (two earned) in 22.1 innings to finish with a 0.81 ERA. He benefited from plenty of good luck to get to that number, however, as seen in his .200 BABIP, 86.4% strand rate and 0.0% HR/FB rate. His 4.26 xFIP paints a far more pessimistic picture, though it's worth noting that he's outperformed his xFIP by over a run over the course of his eight-year career. There are still reasons to worry, however. While he's never been a high strikeout guy, seeing his K% plummet from 22.1% to 17.8% is concerning, and he lost a tick of velocity on his cutter. He made up for those things with a career-high 52.4% groundball rate, but it's certainly possible his non-traditional closer profile collapses in his age-32 season.
