2023 Fantasy Outlook
Adam played for three different teams in four seasons prior to joining the Rays in 2022. The journeyman was impressive from the outset, parlaying a strong string into a bullpen role out of camp. The 31-year-old delivered a career-high 63.1 innings and established career marks across multiple categories, including a team-leading eight saves and a 0.76 WHIP that was third-best among qualified relievers. His 7.2% walk rate and 45.7% groundball rate were notably better than his career averages and he was one of the best pitchers in the league at limiting hard contact. Adam threw fewer fastballs (32% pitch usage) and ditched his curveball almost entirely last season in favor of more sliders (35%) and changeups (33%). All three pitches generated a 34% or higher whiff rate and his 75.8% in-zone contact percentage was eighth-best among relief pitchers. Expect some ERA regression, but Adam should maintain his high leverage role for the Rays. Read Past Outlooks

Wins arbitration case
Adam won his arbitration case Saturday against the Rays and will make $1.775 million in 2023, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports.
ANALYSIS
The team filed at $1.55 million when arbitration figures were exchanged in November. Adam is still believed to be a candidate for a springtime contract extension. He registered a sparkling 1.56 ERA, 0.76 WHIP and 75:17 K:BB over 63.1 regular-season innings for the Rays in 2022. He earned eight saves along the way and is expected to get even more opportunities at closer this year.

Stat Review
How does Jason Adam compare to other relievers?
This section compares his stats with all relief pitcher seasons from the previous three seasons (minimum 30 innings)*. The bar represents the player's percentile rank. For example, if the bar is halfway across, then the player falls into the 50th percentile for that stat and it would be considered average.
* Exit Velocity, Barrels/BBE %, Balls Hit 95+ MPH %, and Spin Rate are benchmarked against 2019 data (min 30 IP). See here for more exit velocity/barrels stats plus an explanation of current limitations with that data set.

The 30-year-old righty was non-tendered by the Cubs after posting a 5.91 ERA in a small sample of 10.2 innings last season, but the Rays evidently saw enough to offer him a major-league deal. His appeal is likely related to his ability to miss bats, as he owns a 37.0 percent strikeout rate in 24.1 innings across the last two seasons, which should theoretically be high enough to offset his 13.0 percent walk rate. He'll contend for a bullpen role this spring.
