2020 Fantasy Outlook
After bursting onto the scene with a 2.92 ERA and eight relief wins in 2018, Trivino got off to a great start to 2019. His season went downhill in a hurry and the point of decline can be tied closely to a thumb injury; Trivino posted a 6.27 ERA, 1.80 WHIP and 5.7 BB/9 following his return in May. He also battled an oblique injury and a cracked rib late in the year, with the latter cutting short his season. Despite Trivino's struggles, manager Bob Melvin continued to lean on the right-hander in high leverage for a good portion of the campaign. Trivino finished with the third-highest Leverage Index on the team, behind Blake Treinen and Liam Hendriks. The skills remain intriguing. Trivino throws 97 mph and even in a down year, his Barrel% and average exit velocity both ranked within the top 5% of the league. With better health, Trivino should bounce back and could even find his way into saves. Read Past Outlooks
Altering mechanics for 2020
Trivino has changed his diet and worked on remaining coiled in his pitching motion and staying behind the ball during spring training, Tom Moore of The Doylestown Intelligencer reports.
ANALYSIS
Trivino is hopeful the adjustments he's made to his body and delivery will help him recapture the form that made him one of baseball's top setup men during his rookie season in 2018, when he posted a 2.92 ERA, 1.14 WHIP, 82:31 K:BB, four saves and 23 holds in 74 innings. Though Trivino didn't lose any velocity from his upper-90s fastball in 2019, he believes poor dieting and a shortening of his arm path on his delivery contributed to his numbers soaring to 5.25 ERA and 1.53 WHIP. The Athletics will likely break him in as a middle reliever to begin the upcoming season, but if his spring adjustments pay dividends early on, he could quickly settle in as the eighth-inning man ahead of closer Liam Hendriks.

2019 Fantasy Outlook
A relative unknown entering 2018, Trivino got the call up in mid-April and went on to become one of manager Bob Melvin's most trusted relievers at the back end of the Oakland bullpen. He did seem to run out of gas late in the year -- Trivino said it was just a lack of execution -- but his overall body of work was quite impressive. Working mostly four-seamer (97.6 mph)/cutter (92.4 mph), Trivino struck batters out at a 27.4% clip and held opponents to a sub-.200 batting average. He tied for 16th in the American League in appearances, racking up eight wins and four saves along the way, and finished with a 14.6% swinging-strike rate, which was a top-25 mark among qualified relievers. The estimators all suggest he overachieved by a decent margin, and regular save chances are highly unlikely with Blake Treinen, Fernando Rodney and Joakim Soria all ahead of him in the pecking order, but Trivino is on the radar as a ratios-eating staff filler.
