Fantasy Impact
Bassitt pitched well last season and was named the Athletics Game 1 starter in the ALDS. He owned a (5-2) record, 2.29 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 55 strikeouts over 63 innings in 2020. Bassitt is expected to be in the top of the A’s rotation and everything sets up for him to be a productive pitcher once again in 2021.
