Nick Anderson In Line To Continue Top Tier Production
4 years agoTampa Bay Rays right-handed pitcher Nick Anderson may not ever be officially tabbed as the team’s closer in 2020, but that won’t stop manager Kevin Cash from calling on him in high-leverage ninth-inning situations. Yet to allow a run in his 9 ⅓ innings of work this year, Anderson ranks among the Majors’ best in nearly every relevant Statcast metric. But the stat many in fantasy worry about most is saves. While six other Rays have collected a save this season, Anderson is indisputably the most consistent arm that the club has; when he isn’t earning saves, he is amassing holds, which he has four of this year. Aside from the shallowest of season-long formats, Anderson can be owned across the board due to his stellar ability to miss bats (15 K’s).
