Shintaro Fujinami News
Free-agent right-hander Shintaro Fujinami signed a one-year, $3.35 million deal with the New York Mets on Friday that includes $850,000 in incentives. The Japanese hurler was a bust in his first year in the big leagues in 2023 after signing with the Oakland Athletics and was quickly banished to the bullpen after posting a 14.26 ERA in seven starts. The 29-year-old was eventually traded to the Baltimore Orioles and fared better in relief there, going 2-0 with a 4.85 ERA (4.13 FIP), 1.21 WHIP, two saves, 15 walks and 32 strikeouts in 29 2/3 frames. Fujinami consistently sits in the upper-90s with his fastball, but he struck out only 83 hitters in 79 total innings in his first taste of the majors last year and walked an alarming 5.1 batters per nine innings. The Mets will look to fix his control issues, and if they can, he could be a decent bullpen piece with strikeout upside.
Baltimore Orioles right-hander Shintaro Fujinami picked up his second save of the season on Tuesday, closing out the 5-4 10-inning win over the Los Angeles Angels. The 29-year-old went one inning, allowing no baserunners and striking out a pair. Fujinami has had a rough first season in the Majors, sporting a 7.42 ERA and 1.49 WHIP with a 24.3% strikeout across 54 games, including seven starts. The Orioles are without Felix Bautista (elbow), possibly for the rest of the season, but the cub has Yennier Cano to fill in as closer. Fantasy managers can leave Fujinami on the waiver wire with the lack of production in all areas.
Baltimore Orioles right-handed pitcher Shintaro Fujinami picked up his first major league save on Sunday in a 5-3 extra-innings win over the Seattle Mariners. Fujinami tossed a perfect frame while punching out one. Fujinami has been pitching better since being acquired from the Oakland A's, but he still holds a 5.23 ERA in Baltimore and has an ugly 7.99 ERA on the season as a whole. He has good stuff, but his command has held him back (5.8 BB/9). The 29-year-old rookie has no fantasy value as this save was a result of Felix Bautista needing rest and the game going to extra innings.
