Felix Bautista Earns Eighth Save Of Season Monday
Felix Bautista picked up his eighth save of the season in Monday's 5-2 win over the Cardinals. Bautista came on to pitch the top of the ninth inning up by three and shut the door with a 1-2-3 inning, including two strikeouts. Much like the entire Orioles team, the 29-year-old has not been as sharp as he was when last healthy in 2023. He has converted all but one of his save opportunities but has a 3.78 ERA, a 1.26 WHIP, a 10.26 K/9 rate, and a 5.94 BB/9 rate in 16 2/3 innings of work. His fastball velocity is down as are his strikeout numbers, but he has still been mostly effective outside of his walks. Fantasy managers should be patient with him, as he and the O's slowly start to turn things around.
