Adam Ottavino Vultures First Save
7 years agoColorado Rockies setup man Adam Ottavino shut down the Mets in the ninth on Sunday to record his first save of 2018. Ottavino got the chance due to it being an off day for closer Wade Davis after he had nailed down saves in the first two games of the New York series. Ottavino remains nearly untouchable this season, racking up a gaudy 16.58 K/9 over the course of the 19 innings he’s pitched. Davis has been a strong closer so far, so Ottavino is likely destined to remain in the setup role throughout the season, but his 0.47 ERA and ridiculous strikeout numbers mean he’s worthy of a roster spot in all leagues.
