Jordan Romano News
Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Jordan Romano continues to thrive as the team's closer. Romano has pitched to a 2.82 ERA and a 3.18 FIP in 22.1 innings for the Blue Jays this season, logging 26 strikeouts compared to just eight walks allowed. He's also registered 16 saves. Only Josh Hader, Taylor Rogers, and Kenley Jansen had more saves entering play on Wednesday. With the Blue Jays owning a 36-25 record so far and a 15-8 record in one-run games, Romano should continue to see plenty of save situations as the season progresses. He has a very real shot at leading the league in saves at the end of the year.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano converted his 16th save of the season in Tuesday's 6-5 win over the White Sox. Romano entered to pitch the ninth inning with a one-run lead. He allowed back-to-back singles but then got a groundball double play and a strikeout to end the game. Romano has now converted all but two save opportunities this season and has a 2.66 ERA with 25 strikeouts and seven walks over 20 1/3 innings pitched. He remains a high-end fantasy closer option.
Toronto Blue Jays closer Jordan Romano returned to action on Friday after being out for the majority of the past week with an illness. He pitched a clean ninth inning in the team's 2-1 victory over the Cincinnati Reds to earn his 13th save of the year. He retired each of the three batters he faced and needed just 10 pitches to lock up the team's 21st victory of the year. Romano's 13 saves on the season have him ranked third in the majors behind only Taylor Rogers (15) and Josh Hader (14). The 29-year-old has a 2.87 ERA and a 1.15 WHIP over 17 total appearances on the year.

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.
