2022 Fantasy Outlook
Whitlock, the fourth pick of the Rule 5 draft, made the Red Sox roster out of spring training and played an unexpected but important role in 2021. The former Yankees prospect pitched multiple innings in 31 of his 46 appearances, often in high-leverage. The rookie went 8-4 with 15 holds and two saves and posted a fantastic 1.96 ERA and 1.10 WHIP over 73.1 innings. The 25-year-old relies on a four-pitch arsenal of a sinker, slider, changeup and fastball. He struggles against left-handed hitters (.293 BAA), but posted a solid 27.2% strikeout rate, 5.7% walk rate and 49.7% groundball rate. Whitlock's ability to go multiple innings could lead to a bigger role in Boston's starting rotation, or he could maintain to a similar multi-inning relief role. Some ratio regression is expected either way, but if Whitlock returns to the bullpen you can count on some wins, holds and potentially saves. Read Past Outlooks
Early exit against M's
Whitlock didn't factor into the decision in Saturday's 6-5 win over the Mariners, coughing up five runs on 10 hits over three innings. He struck out three.
ANALYSIS
Seattle jumped on the right-hander for four runs in the top of the first inning, and Whitlock eventually needed 71 pitches (48 strikes) to record nine outs before getting the hook. The 25-year-old has yet to complete more than five innings in a start, and he's only managed to get that far twice in six starts since moving into the rotation. Whitlock has a 3.58 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 40:10 K:BB through 32.2 innings on the season, but his 4.70 ERA and 1.39 WHIP in the rotation suggest another role change could be on the horizon.
