2020 Fantasy Outlook
Bassitt began the season on the IL with a lower leg injury, returning in mid-April to replace the injured Marco Estrada in Oakland's rotation. He made 25 starts before moving to the bullpen in September, going 10-5 with a serviceable 3.95 ERA and 1.22 WHIP in those outings (139 innings). Bassitt enjoyed a slight velocity bump -- his average fastball clocked in at 93.5 mph after sitting around 92 mph in 2018 -- which resulted in a career-best 8.8 K/9. His flyball tendencies led to a 1.3 HR/9, though the juiced ball likely played a factor, as he typically did well to limit hard contact. While Bassitt could push for a rotation spot in 2020, the A's have plenty of starting pitching depth, so there's a chance he opens the season in a long-relief role. The right-hander flashed his potential in such a role down the stretch, striking out nine batters across three scoreless appearances spanning five innings. Read Past Outlooks
Impressive in no-decision
Bassitt didn't factor into the decision in Friday's contest between the Athletics and the Astros. He gave up one run on three hits and three walks while fanning three across seven innings.
ANALYSIS
Bassitt posted his first quality start of the season and has looked impressive early on, allowing just two earned runs and posting a 15:4 K:BB in 16.2 innings across his first three starts of the season. He will try to keep this up in his next start, scheduled for Aug. 12 against the Angels on the road.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2019
2017
2016
2015
Bassitt didn't appear in the majors at all in 2017, spending the second half on the farm recapturing velocity after Tommy John surgery the previous year. In 2018, Bassitt racked up a ton of frequent flyer mileage, making the 2300-mile trip between Oakland and Triple-A Nashville seven times. The righty appeared in 11 games for the Athletics, starting seven. He posted a career-best 20.1 K%, a rate still below league average. Bassitt features a 92-mph sinking fastball, mixing in a slider, change and curve. The curve generates a solid 15.0 SwStr% but he only throws it 13% of the time. Bassitt will be in the mix for a rotation spot coming out of the spring, though he may end up in a swingman role. His low strikeout rate tempers mixed-league value, but if he's starting, Bassitt can be useful in deeper formats, especially if you can reserve him for tough road affairs.

Could have early rotation role
Bassitt would likely be brought into the starting rotation if Jesus Luzardo (illness) isn't cleared before Opening Day, Martin Gallegos of MLB.com reports. "He showed he's a real weapon last year," manager Bob Melvin said of Bassitt. "It wasn't an easy role. He had to acclimate to it. All guys that were starters want to be starters. They want that routine. Then realizing you have to do things differently, buying in is the big thing. He bought in and realized how important he is to the team. When we talk about starters, you have to include him."
