2023 Fantasy Outlook
Poche returned to the majors for the first time since 2019, having missed two seasons while recovering from Tommy John surgery. The southpaw opened the year in the minors, but was called up in late April and was firmly in the high-leverage mix, tallying four wins, seven saves and 23 holds in 65 appearances. Poche posted 94th percentile rankings in hard hit percentage (31%) and exit velocity allowed (86.0 mph) with a low-90's fastball that he threw nearly 78 percent of the time, plus a curveball (22% usage) that he implemented last season. Despite a strong first half (2.35 ERA, 0.98 WHIP), the left-hander tumbled down the stretch (5.79 ERA, 1.36 WHIP) and allowed 11 home runs on the year for a 1.69 HR/9 rate that was 6th-worst among qualified relievers. Poche suffered a strained right oblique at the end of the season, but figures to be healthy in time for spring training. He'll be given an opportunity to compete for one of the Rays' top lefty bullpen roles in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

Loses arbitration case
Poche lost his arbitration case against the Rays on Saturday, meaning he'll make $1.175 million this season, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Poche had filed for $1.3 million. The southpaw saved seven games for the Rays last season despite posting a mediocre 3.99 ERA. Tampa Bay's typically fluid bullpen setup could see Poche earn another small handful of saves when opposing lefties are due up in the ninth inning, but he doesn't look like a candidate for a traditional closer role should the Rays go that route.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
2019
The 28-year-old hasn't pitched in a competitive setting since the 2019 postseason after undergoing the second Tommy John surgery of his career in July 2020. When he was last healthy during his rookie season in the majors, Poche was one of the top strikeout artists among relievers, whiffing 34.8 percent of the batters he faced. He'll likely need to work his way back at Triple-A for much of the season.
