Adam Ottavino Stats

According to a tweet from The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal on Tuesday, relief pitcher Adam Ottavino and the New York Mets have reportedly agreed to a two-year deal. Per Rosenthal, the deal includes an opt-out after the first season, and he'll receive $14.5 million. Ottavino made 66 appearances for the Mets last season, logging 65 2/3 innings while pitching to a 2.06 ERA and a 2.85 FIP in the process. He also added 79 strikeouts compared to just 16 walks while registering 18 holds and three saves. The National League East club's current high-leverage setup relievers include David Robertson, Brooks Raley and Drew Smith in front of closer Edwin Diaz.

The New York Mets agreed to a $4 million deal plus incentives with free-agent relief pitcher Adam Ottavino on Sunday, pending a physical. Ottavino spent the 2019 and 2020 seasons with the New York Mets before spending last year in the Boston Red Sox's bullpen. The 36-year-old New York native was a part-time closer in Beantown in 2021 and had a 4.71 ERA, 1.45 WHIP and 11 saves in 62 innings pitched. Walks were a bit of an issue for the right-hander, but he did have a nice 25.7% strikeout rate to make up for it. Ottavino will be more of a setup man for the Mets, especially if they also add lefty Brad Hand, but he could still have plenty of fantasy value in leagues that count holds.

Boston Red Sox relief pitcher Adam Ottavino got four outs against the Seattle Mariners Wednesday, striking out two batters without allowing a baserunner. He now has a 7-3 record on the year to go with 20 holds, 11 saves, a 3.68 ERA, a 1.36 WHIP, and 67 strikeouts in 58 2/3 innings. Since Matt Barnes was removed from the closer role, the back end of the Boston bullpen has been wide open. While Ottavino may seemingly have the inside track on most opportunities, he's best not to be relied upon except in leagues that also reward holds, as Garrett Whitlock, Hansel Robles, and other have also seen save chances.
