Player Outlook
All pitchers and catchers rely upon PitchCon to use their signals; Chris Bassitt uses a full keyboard. The righty has yet to come across a pitch classification he does not like, as he has thrown eight different pitch types over each of the past two seasons. What he lacks in velocity he makes up for with creativity, as he will throw all eight offerings to both righties and lefties to keep them guessing. The problem for Bassitt in 2024 was that hitters were not as disrupted in their timing of his sinker (.327 BA) or changeup (.321 BA), as they were in 2023 when they hit .220 and .189 off those same pitches. Bassitt leaned on his sweeper to hold righties to a .234 batting average with four homers on the season, but his cutter was the only member of his octet arsenal that did anything to prevent lefties from doing even more damage than the .305 average and 14 homers inflicted onto Bassitt's stat line. He has made 30 or more starts in each of the last three seasons, even as his ERA has worsened each of the last five seasons. The 2024 season was the first time his WHIP was an issue, but it was also the first time since his early years Bassitt was this hittable. He can still volume his way to strikeouts, but his fading fastball is becoming an increasing issue with each passing season.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Excellent in no-decision

    Rotowire
    Bassitt did not factor into the decision Saturday against the Mets, allowing four hits over 6.2 scoreless innings. He struck out nine. Bassitt was stellar Saturday, keeping a potent Mets lineup off the board into the seventh inning. However, the Blue Jays bullpen was unable to hold a 2-0 lead, leaving Bassitt with a no-decision in an eventual 3-2 loss. It's been an excellent start to the year for Bassitt, who has allowed just one run while striking out 16 in his first 12.2 innings. He'll look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week in Boston.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Logs quality start in win

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (1-0) earned the win against the Orioles on Sunday, allowing one run on eight hits and two walks with seven strikeouts over six innings. Bassitt yielded a run on a wild pitch in the first inning but bounced back with five scoreless frames. The veteran hurler disappointed in 2024, but he posted a 1.74 ERA and 0.97 WHIP this spring and is certainly capable of a rebound. He lines up for a road matchup with the Mets next weekend.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Finds form Tuesday

    Rotowire
    Bassitt gave up two hits and two walks over 4.2 scoreless innings in Tuesday's Grapefruit League game against the Twins. He struck out four. While he didn't have to deal with any of Minnesota's biggest bats, like Byron Buxton or Royce Lewis, Bassitt had little trouble dispatching the lineup he did face. The veteran righty built up to 71 pitches (46 strikes) in his longest outing of the spring, and he has a 10:6 K:BB through 9.2 Grapefruit League frames. Bassitt will be counted on to provide length in the middle of the rotation after posting a 3.86 ERA and 1.31 WHIP in 371 innings over his first two campaigns with the Blue Jays.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Shaky outing Thursday

    Rotowire
    Bassitt gave up two runs on three hits and four walks over 2.1 innings in Thursday's Grapefruit League game against the Red Sox. He struck out two. Spring results mean little, especially for a veteran like Bassitt, and the most important takeaway from Thursday's outing might be that he built up to 56 pitches -- even if only 29 of them were strikes. Given his performance last season however, it would be reassuring to fantasy GMs if he put together some better outings before Opening Day. The 36-year-old righty has made at least 30 starts in each of the last three seasons, but Bassitt's 2024 numbers were his worst since he became a full-time rotation arm with the A's in 2019, as he stumbled to a 4.16 ERA, 1.46 WHIP and 168:70 K:BB over 171 regular-season innings.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Not pitching in season finale

    Rotowire
    Manager John Schneider said Friday that Bassitt won't start Sunday's game against Miami, Keegan Matheson of MLB.com reports. Bassitt was slated to start the Blue Jays' final game of the 2024 season, but the 35-year-old right-hander will be rested instead. Schneider didn't name a replacement starter. Bassitt finishes the campaign with a 4.16 ERA -- his worst since 2016 -- along with a 1.46 WHIP and 168:70 K:BB across 171 innings (31 starts).

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Seven walks lead to loss

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (10-14) took the loss Monday, allowing three runs (two earned) on four hits and seven walks over 4.1 innings against the Red Sox. He struck out two. Bassitt walked a career-high seven batters and failed to complete five innings for the second consecutive start, allowing single runs in the second, third and fourth innings prior to being pulled with one out and two men on in the fifth. The 35-year-old righty holds a 4.16 ERA and 1.46 WHIP, the first time his ERA has moved above four and his WHIP above 1.24 since 2016. Bassitt is in line to make one more start on the final day of the regular season against the Marlins.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Let down by defense

    Rotowire
    Bassitt allowed seven runs (one earned) on six hits and three walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Rangers on Tuesday. A pair of Toronto errors, including one by Bassitt himself, helped minimize the damage to his ERA. The Blue Jays would recover from the deficit Bassitt created, which helped him avoid taking the loss. Still, he wasn't very sharp with just 48 of his 80 pitches landing for strikes. Since the All-Star break, he's been charged with four or more runs in six of his 11 outings, alternating between decent and poor performances the whole time. The right-hander is now at a 4.16 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and 166:63 K:BB through 166.2 innings over 30 starts this season. Bassitt's next start is projected to be on the road versus the Rays.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Sharp in win No. 10

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (10-12) picked up the win in Tuesday's 6-2 victory over the Mets, allowing one run on five hits and a walk over six innings. He struck out eight. The veteran right-hander gave up three singles in the first inning to bring home a run, but Bassitt was dominant after that, leaving the mound after 101 pitches (63 strikes) with his 12th quality start of the year. It's his first win since Aug. 6, and in 10 starts since the All-Star break he's gone 2-6 with a 5.50 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 64:15 K:BB through 55.2 innings. Bassitt will look to string together consecutive victories for the first time since early June in his next outing, which is scheduled to come on the road early next week against the Rangers.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: No support in tough-luck loss

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (9-13) took the loss against Boston on Wednesday, allowing one run on five hits and one walk while striking out nine batters over 6.2 innings. Bassitt was excellent in the outing, racking up 17 whiffs and tying a season high with nine punchouts while holding Boston to just a first-inning run. However, the Blue Jays' offense couldn't muster up any support, as the team was held to three baserunners and zero runs. Though Bassitt was saddled with his third loss in his past four outings, he did register his first quality start over that span. He's pitched to a 4.27 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 149:57 K:BB through 151.2 innings on the season.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Sunk by nightmare first inning

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (9-11) took the loss against the Athletics on Sunday, allowing seven runs on eight hits and two walks with five strikeouts over four innings. The Athletics brought 11 batters to the plate in the first inning, scoring six runs and crushing two homers before Bassitt was finally able to escape. It's been a frustrating year for the veteran, who was coming off a seven-inning gem against one of baseball's best lineups in Baltimore. However, that outing was his only quality start in seven chances since July 4, a period in which his ERA has grown from 3.24 to 4.30. He'll try to rebound in a road matchup with the Cubs next week.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Strikes out nine in win

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (9-10) earned the win against the Orioles on Tuesday, allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with nine strikeouts over seven innings. Bassitt faced the minimum through five innings and recorded a season-high nine strikeouts while completing seven innings for the first time since June 24. The 35-year-old had a miserable July, failing to record a quality start and posting a 7.01 ERA in five outings, but he opened August with a fantastic performance against one of the league's best lineups. On the year, he owns a 3.95 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 124:50 K:BB across 130 innings and lines up for a home matchup with the Athletics this weekend.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Hit hard in loss

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (8-9) took the loss Thursday against Tampa Bay, allowing three runs on five hits and a walk across five innings. He struck out six. Three of the five hits Bassitt allowed Thursday went for extra bases, with Brandon Lowe lifting a solo homer in the first frame before Lowe and Isaac Paredes logged back-to-back RBI doubles in the third. Bassitt has taken a loss in three of his last four starts, logging a 6.23 ERA with 21 strikeouts in 21.2 innings during that stretch. He's tentatively scheduled to face the Orioles in Baltimore early next week.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Coughs up five runs in loss

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (8-8) took the loss Friday against the Tigers, allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over 6.2 innings. He struck out six. With this outing, the Toronto right-hander continued a run of poor performance that saw him yield seven runs across 10 innings in his last two outings before the All-Star break. Bassitt allowed multiple homers for the first time since April 26, as Mark Canha and Wenceel Perez each hit two-run shots. The veteran pitcher's ERA now stands at 3.71 over 114 innings this season. Bassitt currently lines up to make his next start against the Rays at home.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Grabs eighth win

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (8-7) earned the win over the Giants on Wednesday, allowing three runs on five hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six. Two of the three runs charged to Bassitt came across in the opening frame after he surrendered a leadoff single to LaMonte Wade and allowed him to advance to second on a passed ball. The right-hander then gave up back-to-back RBI singles with two outs, though he wouldn't permit another run until the fifth. He induced 10 whiffs in the contest but also walked four batters for the second consecutive start. Bassitt has now gone at least five innings in 13 straight outings and has won two of his last three.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Surrenders four runs in defeat

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (7-7) took the loss against Houston on Thursday, allowing four runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out three batters over five innings. Bassitt got off to a terrible start in allowing six of the first seven batters he faced to reach base, resulting in three Astros runs. The veteran hurler bounced back to give up just one more run over the remainder of his five frames, but the first-inning damage was enough to send him to his seventh loss of the season. Bassitt had been rolling coming into Thursday, posting a 1.41 ERA across his previous five starts, and the four runs he yielded against Houston were his most since he gave up seven runs against the Dodgers on April 26. Bassitt's overall numbers this season have been pretty much in line with what fantasy managers have come to expect from him -- he has a 3.43 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 94:41 K:BB across 102.1 frames.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Strikes out eight in win

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (7-6) earned the win over the Yankees on Saturday, allowing one unearned run on six hits and two walks with eight strikeouts over six innings. Bassitt fired five scoreless innings before Anthony Volpe reached on an error in the sixth and came around to score on a single by Aaron Judge. Bassitt has now logged three consecutive quality starts and has not allowed more than three earned runs in an outing since April 26. The 35-year-old has lowered his ERA over two full runs since the conclusion of April and now owns a 3.24 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and 91:37 K:BB over 97.1 innings this season. He lines up for a home matchup with the Astros next week.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Tosses seven innings

    Rotowire
    Bassitt allowed two runs on five hits and a walk over seven innings in a no-decision Monday. He struck out two during the loss to Boston. Aside from Rafael Devers' two-run shot in the fourth inning, Bassitt had little trouble during the quality start. Bassitt was in line for the win before Toronto's bullpen was tagged with five runs. After producing a 5.03 over his first nine starts, he owns a strong 1.67 ERA over his last seven outings. Bassitt's season ERA sits at 3.45 alongside an 83:35 K:BB. He is currently projected to face the Yankees at home this weekend.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Toughs out five scoreless frames

    Rotowire
    Bassitt gave up five hits and four walks over five scoreless innings in a no-decision Wednesday against the Brewers. He struck out five. It didn't come easy for Bassitt, as he had to contend with the bases loaded in both the first and fourth innings, though he'd manage to escape unscathed. After a shaky start to the year, the 35-year-old Bassitt's been solid since the start of May, pitching to a 2.25 ERA over his last eight outings. Overall, he's 6-6 with a 3.56 ERA, 1.40 WHIP and 75:32 K:BB across 78.1 innings this season. Bassitt is currently in line to face the Red Sox at home in his next outing.

    Rotowire
    Bassitt allowed a run on four hits and two walks while striking out seven over eight innings in a no-decision versus the Athletics on Friday. Bassitt tamed one of his former teams, but reliever Chad Green gave up a walk-off hit in the ninth inning. In his longest outing of the year, Bassitt threw 71 of 102 pitches for strikes. He's limited opponents to one run or fewer in five of his 13 starts this season, pitching to a 3.80 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 70:28 K:BB through 73.1 innings. The 35-year-old right-hander is projected to make his next start at Milwaukee.

  • Blue Jays' Chris Bassitt: Earns another win

    Rotowire
    Bassitt (6-6) picked up the win Sunday, allowing three runs on eight hits and a walk over five innings against the Pirates. He struck out seven. Bassitt didn't seem to be held back at all after leaving his previous start with neck spasms, tossing 100 pitches Sunday and picking up his third straight victory. The 35-year-old has been part of the decision in all 12 of his starts this season and hasn't yielded more than three runs in an outing since April 26. During that stretch, Bassitt is 4-2 with a 2.83 ERA across 35.0 innings. He's scheduled to make his next appearance Friday at Oakland.
