Chris Bassitt Records 10 Strikeouts In Win

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt was excellent on the mound during Wednesday's game against the Atlanta Braves. Bassitt had little issues in this game as he struck out 10 batters while allowing only three hits across five scoreless innings on Wednesday. He exited the game after 90 pitches, but did enough in this one to earn himself the win. The rest of the bullpen picked up where Bassitt left off as they recorded a franchise record 19 strikeouts during Wednesday's game. Bassitt has been unbelievable early in the season with only two earned runs across four starts. He's going to be a popular waiver wire addition after this outing.

Chris Bassitt Strikes Out Five In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt allowed one run on five hits in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox. The veteran struck out five batters and walked one over 5.2 innings of work -- narrowly missing his third quality start. Bassitt pitched well again, stifling the Red Sox through five innings. He ran into trouble in the sixth, though, walking outfielder Jaren Durran, who would eventually steal second and score on an Alex Bregman single. The right-hander has been excellent thus far in 2025 -- holding a sterling 0.98 ERA and 1.09 WHIP with a 21:3 K:BB ratio in 18.1 innings. Statcast thinks he may be over-performing his metrics, but Bassitt has started another season off on the right foot. If it holds, the right-hander's 28.8% strikeout rate would be the highest of his career.

Chris Bassitt Strikes Out Nine In No-Decision

Toronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Chris Bassitt tossed 6 2/3 shutout innings on Saturday, allowing four hits and no walks while striking out nine batters, but he did not factor into the decision in the 3-2 loss to the Mets. Through two turns in the rotation -- one at home and one on the road -- the veteran has looked good, posting a 0.71 ERA (0.89 FIP), 1.11 WHIP, and a 27.5 percent K-BB% (2:16 BB:K). Coming off a year in which he posted the worst full-season ERA and WHIP of his career, this was not to be expected, but with a solid career ERA of 3.56 and 1.23 WHIP, he's always been fairly good. However, looking closer, from April 9 to June 29 last season, the righty posted a 2.76 ERA before fading to a 5.38 ERA from July on. Fantasy managers may want to consider packaging Bassitt up in a trade, as there's sure to be some regression coming. The former All-Star will take on the Red Sox on the road in his next start on Thursday.
