Can Adam Ottavino get even better for the Rockies?

Colorado Rockies: Just how high is Adam Ottavino’s ceiling? | Rox Pile
Colorado Rockies reliever Adam Ottavino’s success in 2018 has been well-documented. Through 26 innings entering Wednesday’s action, Ottavino has a 1.04 ERA, with a 1.53 FIP that largely backs up his performance. 45 strikeouts against 10 walks is extremely impressive, and only Josh Hader of the Milwaukee Brewers can boast more appreciable numbers as a reliever to begin the season. Ottavino, 32, is rediscovering his form and then some after completely losing his command in 2017. Gone are the days of 39 walks, 8 home runs, and 8 wild pitches allowed in 53 1/3 innings pitched.
