Heading into Tuesday night, Ottavino has accounted for 1.3 fWAR, 1.47 WPA, a 4-2 record with two saves and 15 holds to the tune of a 1.88 ERA over 38.1 innings pitched. In those 36 games, which had a stint on the disabled list sandwiched between, he’s striking out 41.1 percent of the batters he’s faced while holding them to a .150 average and a 0.913 WHIP.
The last four of those games, however, have told a different story. All told, he’s made nine appearances since coming off the disabled list after recovering from an oblique injury in mid-June.
