2024 Fantasy Outlook
Ottavino declined his $6.75 million player option for 2024 to become a free-agent after a solid year in high-leverage for the Mets last season. The veteran hurler experienced a dip in velocity, averaging just 92.5 mph on his sinker (a nearly 2 mile per hour difference from 2022), but went on to record a career-high 12 saves in addition to 12 holds. His hard-hit, strikeout and walk rates went in the wrong direction, but his 56.3 groundball rate was a 92nd percentile metric. Ottavino's changeup continues to be effective as his usage of the pitch trends upward, but he only threw it at a 14 percent clip last season. With 66 or more appearances in each of the last three seasons and plenty of high-leverage experience, there should be a market for the 38-year-old for the 2024 season, but don't expect an abundance of saves wherever he signs as Ottavino is likely to fill a 7th or 8th inning role.
