Félix Bautista Stats

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista earned his sixth save of the season and his second in the last two games in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the Blue Jays. Bautista entered to close things out with a one-run lead. He got the first out on a flyout, allowed a single, got the second out on a strikeout, and ended the game by getting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to line out. Bautista has a nasty pitch arsenal and has done very well for the O's this season, compiling a 1.69 ERA with a 12.00 K/9 rate. He appears to be worth a roster spot in all leagues at this time with Jorge Lopez leaving the bullpen at the trade deadline.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista picked up his fifth save of the season in Monday's 7-4 win over the Blue Jays. Bautista came into the game up by two with two outs in the eighth inning and runners on first and second. He got a groundout to end the inning and stayed on to pitch the ninth inning. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. reached first on an error and Alejandro Kirk singled, but Bautista then struck out Teoscar Hernandez and got Bo Bichette to ground into a double play to end the game. The big flamethrower has pitched very well overall this season and seems to be the favorite to take up the closing duties for the O's with Jorge Lopez traded. He now has a 1.72 ERA with a 12.06 K/9 rate. Bautista is worth a look in most fantasy leagues at this time given his strong performance and how well the O's have played.

Baltimore Orioles relief pitcher Felix Bautista closed the door on the Tampa Bay Rays on Thursday to earn his third save of the year. He pitched the final 1 1/3 innings of the game and retired each of the four batters he faced, striking out three along the way. The team's primary closer, Jorge Lopez, had pitched two consecutive days prior to Thursday, so he was likely unavailable for Thursday's game. While Lopez has had a few stumbles this year, he still has a stellar 1.71 ERA and 0.99 WHIP on the year. Even though Bautista has been even more dominant (1.50 ERA, 0.86 WHIP), it's unlikely that there's a changing of the guard in the ninth for the Orioles at this point.
