2024 Fantasy Outlook
While he wasn't able to replicate the stats from his 2022 breakout year, Adam still had a fine season in high leverage. The 32-year-old recorded 11 holds in a setup role to go along with 12 saves as the Rays fill-in closer whenever Pete Fairbanks was on the IL. As to be expected, there was some ERA regression, but Adam tied for 16th among qualified relievers with a 1.01 WHIP. He issued more free passes, but produced a 31.1% strikeout rate that was in line with 2022. Adam posted nearly identical strikeout totals with his 3 main offerings - 24 with his sweeper (30% usage), 23 with his changeup (35.2%) and 22 with his 4-seamer (33.4%). The right-hander did miss time at the end of last season with an oblique strain that required two trips to the injured list. Since this type of injury can linger, monitor his velocity and performance during spring training, assuming he's healthy enough to return for camp. Read Past Outlooks

Takes loss against Jays
Adam (4-2) allowed four earned runs (two earned) on two walks and two hits while striking out one to take the loss Wednesday against the Blue Jays.
ANALYSIS
Adam entered the game in the eighth inning with the score tied at 2-2. He retired two of the first three batters he faced but let the next three hitters reach, all of whom came around to score on a pair of fielding miscues by the Rays. Adam has allowed five earned runs across his last three innings, but he still has an excellent 2.54 ERA and 0.91 WHIP across 46 frames on the campaign.

Stat Review
How does Jason Adam compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2015
2014
2013
Adam played for three different teams in four seasons prior to joining the Rays in 2022. The journeyman was impressive from the outset, parlaying a strong string into a bullpen role out of camp. The 31-year-old delivered a career-high 63.1 innings and established career marks across multiple categories, including a team-leading eight saves and a 0.76 WHIP that was third-best among qualified relievers. His 7.2% walk rate and 45.7% groundball rate were notably better than his career averages and he was one of the best pitchers in the league at limiting hard contact. Adam threw fewer fastballs (32% pitch usage) and ditched his curveball almost entirely last season in favor of more sliders (35%) and changeups (33%). All three pitches generated a 34% or higher whiff rate and his 75.8% in-zone contact percentage was eighth-best among relief pitchers. Expect some ERA regression, but Adam should maintain his high leverage role for the Rays.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Stepping in as closer
Adam is expected to serve as Rays' primary closer with Pete Fairbanks on the injured list due to a hip injury, per Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times.
ANALYSIS
Adam leads the team with seven saves this year, but Fairbanks has been the primary option in the ninth inning when healthy. Adam was one of the best relievers in baseball in 2022 with just 11 runs allowed and a 75:27 K:BB in 67 appearances, but he hasn't been quite as effective this season with a 3.09 ERA and 1.16 WHIP across 23.1 innings. The 31-year-old has still pitched well overall and should receive a fair amount of save chances with Tampa Bay holding the best record in MLB.
