Jordan Romano News
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano has withdrawn from Team Italy for the upcoming 2023 World Baseball Classic. It's good news for those that plan to invest in Romano as a top-10 fantasy closer this year. The 29-year-old right-hander has emerged as one of the better closers in baseball on one of the best rising teams in the sport. He was a first-time All-Star in 2022, when he had a sharp 2.11 ERA (2.82 FIP), 1.02 WHIP, career-high 36 saves, 21 walks and 73 strikeouts in 64 relief innings. Romano has 59 saves in the last two years for Toronto and will enter the 2023 season as the Jays' unquestioned closer. RotoBaller currently has him ranked as the No. 6 fantasy closer behind Ryan Pressly.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano picked up his 33rd save of the season in Monday's 3-2 win over the Rays. Romano came in to close things out up by one and turned in a 1-2-3 inning with a strikeout. The 29-year-old has been a high-end fantasy option all season, converting all but four save opportunities with a 1.95 ERA and 10.41 K/9 rate. He should continue to help fantasy managers down the stretch as the Blue Jays compete for a playoff spot.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano picked up his 28th save of the season in Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Cubs. Romano came in to pitch the ninth inning with a two-run lead. He got the first out on a flyout, hit a batter, but then got the final two outs on another flyout and a popout. Romano has been a higher-end fantasy option once again this season, converting all but four save opportunities with a 2.15 ERA. He should continue to bolster fantasy teams' performances down the stretch with the Blue Jays in the hunt for the playoffs.

Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jordan Romano grew into one of the better closers in baseball in 2023 as the right-hander earned 36 saves to tie him for fourth in the big leagues alongside Josh Hader. However, besides saves, Romano didn't play with the big boys in his category. His 28.3% K% and 20.2% K-BB% were strong but far from elite for a closer. Romano's 2.11 ERA sat notably below his 2.82 FIP and 3.02 SIERA, while his Statcast metrics were suspect. Romano ranked in the eighth percentile in average exit velocity, fourth in hard-hit rate, and 57th in barrel rate. Despite an elevated fly-ball rate of 39.2% and plenty of hard contact, Romano yielded home runs on just 6.5% of fly-balls put in play, nearly half his 12.5% mark from 2021. His HR rate is almost certain to rise next season, with Steamer projecting a 0.98 HR/9 clip over his 0.56 mark from 2021. He's projected to save 32 games on a strong Blue Jays club, but his ERA is pegged at 3.41 with a decent 19.7% K-BB%. Rotoballer's ninth-ranked reliever should have his name called around the 37th pick in standard 15-team leagues but tread with caution as projections call for regression across the board.
