2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bautista was sidelined for the entire 2024 campaign, but he began throwing off the mound in August and will be 16 months removed from Tommy John surgery by February. The 6-foot-5 hurler is not expected to have any restrictions at the start of spring training and as long as he looks good during Grapefruit League play, he should regain the closer role for Baltimore heading into 2025. "The Mountain" emerged as one of the top closers in the game during the 2023 season, posting 33 saves with a 1.48 ERA and 0.92 WHIP over 61 innings with a 46.4 percent strikeout rate that was tops among qualified relievers. Achieving those types of numbers might be a tall order coming off a major injury, especially since Bautista has a 10 percent walk rate for his career. Expect some regression, but don't wait too long to click his name in the draft room, as his upside warrants a top-5 selection among closers. Read Past Outlooks

Bautista struck out two batters in a perfect ninth inning to come away with the save in Friday's 5-3 win over the Yankees.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
Bautista is expected to miss the entire 2024 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in October. Prior to the injury, which he suffered in late-August, "The Mountain" had arguably emerged as MLB's top closer. Bautista compiled a 1.48 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 110:26 K:BB ratio over 61 innings to go along with 33 saves. This mark was still good for 3rd in the American League despite Bautista missing the last month and change of the season. His 46.4% strikeout percentage was tops among qualified relievers, while his 4.45 WPA and 2.03 gmLI were 2nd and 5th, respectively. Assuming Bautista avoids any setbacks in his recovery, look for him to return for spring training in 2025.
