Jordan Romano News
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano pitched a clean ninth inning on Sunday to close out his team's 5-3 victory against the Twins in the series finale. The right-hander's only blemish in his appearance was a two-out hit-by-pitch, but it was an otherwise easy 10-pitch frame to record his 19th save of the year. Romano picked up one strikeout on the afternoon to push his season total to 76 through 58 innings, and he also lowered his ERA to 2.33 and his WHIP to 1.03. It's been a solid statistical year for the 28-year-old in his second year as the Jays closer, since he's also notched seven wins with just one blown save. The only qualm fantasy managers may have is with his relatively low save total.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano tossed a perfect ninth inning on Wednesday to close out the team's 6-3 win over the Rays. He recorded a groundout, strikeout, and a pop out in the quick 11-pitch frame for his 18th save in 19 opportunities this season. The right-hander has been sharp nearly all season as he sits with a 2.41 ERA, and 1.05 WHIP with 73 K in 56 IP in his second year as the Jays closer. The only disappointing part of Romano's fantasy output is his relatively low save total, but he's offset that with a 7-1 record to give managers help elsewhere.
Toronto Blue Jays reliever Jordan Romano shut the door on the White Sox Wednesday to secure the save in the club's 3-1 victory. He worked around a leadoff single by getting Andrew Vaughn to ground into a twin killing before Cesar Hernandez hit a lazy fly to center to end the ball game. Romano blew his first save chance of the season back on April 8, but since then he's a perfect 13-for-13 in his sporadic opportunities this season. Although the right-hander's save total isn't the highest, he's keeping plenty of fantasy value with a 2.33 ERA, 1.19 WHIP, and 62 K in 46 1/3 IP on the campaign.

Across a whopping 30 big league innings, Romano has certainly been Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde as the first 15 in 2019 were awful, and 2020 was fantastic. During last season's breakout, Romano boasted a 2.40 xFIP and flashed a rare groundball (58.1 GB%), soft-contact (25.8 Hard%), high-whiff ability (36.8 K%). In his forgetful 2019 campaign, Romano threw his fastball and slider at a 60%/40% split. In 2020 that split flipped to 40/60, and evidently it was beneficial - along with a 2 MPH uptick in velocity. The stuff was electric, and gave opposing batter fits. His O-Contact% dropped 23 points from 2019, with his overall Contact% dropping 15. He gave up the eighth-lowest contact among all relievers. Pretty impressive for a guy that also owns a 58.1 GB%. After not allowing an earned run in his first nine innings of 2020, his stellar campaign was cut even shorter due to a middle finger injury that cost him all of September. Prior to the injury he had converted two of three save opportunities. Regardless of who sees the majority of save ops for the Blue Jays in 2021 (Romanon, Rafael Dolis, Free Agent), I believe Romano will get enough to warrant his current 219 NFBC ADP due to the upside and strikeout totals.
