2022 Fantasy Outlook
A rare trade between the Yankees and Red Sox shipped Ottavino to Boston last January. The veteran entered a murky closer picture with Matt Barnes last spring that Barnes later emerged from, though Ottavino still pitched plenty of high-leverage innings, earning seven wins, 11 saves and 23 holds in 69 games. In his age-35 sesaon, the reliever boosted his fastball velocity (95-mph) and was among the league leaders in hard hit rate and barrel percentage. He maintained a 10.3 K/9 and kept the ball in the park (0.7 HR/9), but his control issues persisted with 35 walks in 62 innings (5.1 BB/9). Ottavino enters free agency with plenty of high-leverage experience, but the free passes will limit his potential for saves wherever he signs. He's likely to continue logging plenty of holds unless he encounters a steep regression. Read Past Outlooks

Snags seventh hold
Ottavino worked 0.2 scoreless innings Friday to record his seventh hold of the season in a win over the Angels.
ANALYSIS
After Joely Rodriguez put the first two Angels aboard in the eighth inning before striking out Brandon Marsh, Ottavino got the call to shut down the rally and needed only three pitches to induce a double play grounder from Jo Adell. Ottavino has settled into his setup role for the Mets, with six of his holds coming since the beginning of May -- a stretch during which he's posted a 2.45 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 18:5 K:BB over 14,2 innings.

Ottavino had a down year in terms of his final ERA, though he was really only hit hard in two of 24 outings. He finished with a 5.89 ERA, 1.58 WHIP and a 25:9 K:BB over 18.1 innings. The reliever had numerous high-leverage opportunities, finishing with a 2-3 record, three blown saves and two holds. Ottavino did manage to hold opposing teams to just one run while fanning 10 in his last seven appearances of the regular season (5.2 innings). The 34-year-old's velocity declined slightly in 2020, though his fastball average sat at a respectable 93.5 mph compared to 93.9 a season prior. Ottavino continues to rely on his slider, a pitch he threw 46.3% of the time last year. A trade to Boston boosts Ottavino's fantasy value as Matt Barnes is hardly an immovable object at closer. Even in a setup role, he'll have value since he can snag a few saves to go along with a high number of strikeouts.
