Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
A starter throughout his minor-league career, Kay broke summer camp on the Blue Jays' 30-man roster. He was expected to play a swingman role but ended up pitching exclusively out of the bullpen, making 13 appearances in relief before being optioned to the team's alternate training site in mid-September. Kay was never comfortable as a reliever, walking 14 while allowing three homers in 21 innings, though he did fan 22 batters. Toronto has opened its window to win and taken measures to strengthen the rotation, so Kay's future may be in a similar bullpen role, which doesn't lend itself to fantasy. To get back in the rotation mix, he needs to work on command and control, but with average stuff, his ceiling is capped as an innings eater. Kay is probably better off focusing on a couple offerings to maximize his effectiveness as a reliever.
