2023 Fantasy Outlook
Toronto acquired Bass from the Miami at the trade deadline and exercised their $3 million club option for 2023 after the right-hander posted career-best marks in games played (73), wins (four) and holds (23). The 35-year-old's 1.54 ERA was 7th among qualified relievers, while most of his Statcast metrics were above average. He bumped his slider usage from 50% to 56%, as it continues to be his most effective offering and helped produce a career-best 9.3 K/9 and 14.8% swinging strike percentage. Bass still has trouble with left-handed swingers (.269 BAA since 2020), but figures to be a fixture in the seventh inning this season for the Blue Jays. Read Past Outlooks

Having strong spring
Bass has posted a 7:1 K:BB through six Grapefruit League innings this spring.
ANALYSIS
The veteran right-hander split 2022 between the Marlins and Blue Jays and had a sub-2.00 ERA at each stop, wrapping up his campaign with a 1.54 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and career highs in wins (four) and holds (23). Bass figured to be one of the primary high-leverage options in the Toronto bullpen this season, and his spring performance suggests he's ready for Opening Day.

Bass began 2021 as Miami's closer but lost the job amid a slow start that saw him post a 7.84 ERA through May 4. He improved the rest of the season with a 3.00 ERA and 50:20 K:BB ratio in 50 innings. He was expected to return to a setup role, but Dylan Floro's questionable health in spring training could give him another shot to close games. Bass has the most experience among the setup corps, recording 12 saves for the Mariners and Blue Jays between 2019 and 2020, but Anthony Bender is viewed as having the best stuff, while Richard Bleier could also see work against left-handers at the end of games.
