Jason Adam 2024 Fantasy Baseball Outlook: A Great Handcuff To Fairbanks
10 months agoJason Adam has proven to be a valuable commodity for the Tampa Bay Rays. The 32-year-old righty had four wins, 12 saves, a 2.98 ERA, and 1.01 WHIP with 69 strikeouts in 54 1/3 innings. Adam took over the closer seat for the injured Pete Fairbanks last year, earning 11 of his saves in May and June. The veteran is a master at limiting hard contact, as evidenced by his 87.2 average exit velocity, good for the 84th percentile. He also has a 31.1K%, which puts him in the 93rd percentile in MLB. Adam's best pitch is his change-up, which he pairs with a four-seam fastball and a sweeper. His ATC projections are at 11 saves, with 15 holds, a 3.30 ERA, and a 1.09 WHIP. The NFBC ADP of 313 shows that fantasy players are drafting Adam as a third reliever with upside in many leagues.
