Colin Poche Stats

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Colin Poche picked up his fifth save of the season in Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Yankees. Poche came in to pitch the ninth inning with a three-run lead. He walked the first batter, got the next two hitters out on a strikeout and ground out, gave up a two-run home run, and got the final out on a fly-out. The Rays have always had an unclear approach to closing games, and that is even more true with Andrew Kittredge (elbow) on the 60-day injured list. Poche may have to contend with Jason Adam (who pitched the eighth inning) and Brooks Raley (who pitched in the seventh inning) for save opportunities, but he has pitched well overall, compiling a 2.01 ERA with only one blown save in 22 1/3 innings pitched. Poche is worth a look in all deeper roto leagues at this time.

Tampa Bay Rays pitcher Colin Poche struck out one across a scoreless inning to earn the save during Saturday's 7-6 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The southpaw retired all three batters he faced to earn his fourth save of the season. He is now 4-for-5 in save chances, adding eight holds, a 1.27 ERA, 0.84 WHIP, and 18:6 K: BB across 21 1/3 innings in 2022. Tampa Bay continues to use a bullpen by committee with Poche, Jason Adam, and Brooks Raley, while primary closer Andrew Kittredge (elbow) is on the 60-day injured list. Poche is a speculative add in most league formats for fantasy managers searching for saves.

Tampa Bay Rays relief pitcher Colin Poche was called upon to put an end to the team's 6-3 victory over the Chicago White Sox on Friday. He entered the game in the ninth inning with two outs and the bases loaded and he was able to get White Sox outfielder Luis Robert to strike out on four pitches. Poche is now 3-for-4 on save opportunities this year. He's tied for second on the team in saves behind Andrew Kittredge (back), who is currently out with a back injury but nearing a return. Poche has a strong 1.56 ERA and 0.92 WHIP on the year. He should continue have see save opportunities pop up here and there this year, but he'll primarily be used in a setup role.
