Felix Bautista Blows Save Tuesday
1 year agoBaltimore Orioles closer Felix Bautista could not convert the save opportunity in the ninth inning of Tuesday's 6-5 extra-innings loss to the Yankees. Bautista came in to face the top of the Yankees lineup up by one. He struck out Gleyber Torres but then allowed a solo home run to Aaron Judge before getting the final two outs on strikeouts. The flamethrower has now converted 11 of 15 save opportunities with a 1.50 ERA, 18.00 K/9 rate, and 6.00 BB/9 rate. Command of his split-finger fastball has been off at times, but Bautista still remains a higher-end fantasy option, especially given how well the O's have played.
