Rest-of-Season Projections
2023 Fantasy Outlook
2022 was a lost season for Patino who went down early with an oblique injury in his first start of the season and then later with shoulder discomfort limiting him to six starts at the major league level and another 11 in rehab and development in the minors. He had one very impressive outing against the lowly Royals in mid-August, but high other outings were disastrous including one outing where the Yankees hung nine earned runs on him in 1.1 inning of work. The numbers were terrible because he pitched from behind more often than not and the league rightly sat fastball and got what they were looking for. If his command and/or durability do not improve, he could be converted into a power reliever moreso than a starter, but Tampa Bay will give his mechanics and body every attempt to succeed before pushing him to the pen. The talent is there, but the execution is not yet there. A very late round dart throw at best until something changes for the better. Read Past Outlooks
Moving to relief at Triple-A
Patino has been moved to the bullpen at Triple-A Durham, Kristie Ackert of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
Patino threw a scoreless inning Saturday for Durham in his first relief appearance of the season following a 6.66 ERA in six starts. While it doesn't necessarily look like a permanent move, if Patino helps the Rays in 2023 it seems like it will be as a reliever. "The best version that we saw of Luis was probably in (2021), I think when he was coming out of the bullpen for us," manager Kevin Cash said. "He was very, very powerful."

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
2020
2019
For as hard as Patino throws (96 mph), he's been a disappointment so far in his short career. While he has a 9.0 K/9, the walks (4.1 BB/9) and home runs (1.4 HR/9) have pushed his ERA near 4.50 with a 1.37 WHIP. He's basically just a fastball-slider pitcher and so far he's had problems navigating lineups even a second time. The fastball (11.3 SwStr%) and slider (14.2 SwStr%) generate a good number of swings-and-misses, but most of the contact he allows is in the air (30.8 GB%). To make matters worse, his performance deteriorated as the season went on with a 21.8 K-BB% in the first half that dropped to 10.6% in the second half. The 22-year-old has the opportunity to turn it around for a team that has historically put its pitchers in good position to succeed.
