Adam Ottavino

Adam Ottavino and the Mets are in agreement for a two-year contract with an opt-out option after the first year.

The Mets have now brought back two of the biggest pieces of their bullpen from the 2022 season, resigning both Ottavino and Edwin Diaz. Last season, Ottavino recorded a 2.06 ERA and a 0.975 WHIP to go along with 79 strikeouts in 65 2/3 innings pitched. He should serve as the primary setup man for Diaz next season.

Adam Ottavino pithed a scoreless ninth inning Saturday in a win over Colorado to earn his second save of the season.

Ottavino has pitched well this season, posting a 2.09 ERA and a .209 BBA in 52 appearances this season. The 36-year-old ranks 10th in the NL in games played this season. He is only worth a roster spot right now as insurance if Edwin Diaz were to end up on the IL.

Adam Ottavino pitched a perfect ninth inning with a strikeout on Thursday against the Rockies to earn his first save of the season.

Buck Showalter opted to use Edwin Diaz in the eighth inning against the heart of the Rockies lineup, leaving Ottavino to lock down the ninth. He's pitched very well this year, with a 2.13 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP, cutting his walk rate significantly from the last few seasons. He'd likely be the next man up if anything happened to Diaz but, for now, he's purely someone to roster for his solid, though unspectacular, ratios.

Reliever Adam Ottavino has reportedly signed a 1-year, $4M deal with the New York Mets.

Fantasy Impact

Ottavino ended his 2021 campaign with the Red Sox boasting a 4.21 ERA in his 69 appearances. With the Mets, the 36-year-old will likely slide into a setup or middle relief role, as Edwin Diaz will most likely remain the closer for New York.

Adam Ottavino pitched a lights out ninth inning en route to earning his 11th save of the season on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Don’t look now Matt Barnes owners. The Red Sox have made it clear that they are perfectly comfortable allowing Ottavino to come in to close out games. This is not to say that Barnes has completely surrendered the job, but Ottavino on his tail certainly caps his ceiling.
