2024 Fantasy Outlook
While he wasn't able to replicate the stats from his 2022 breakout year, Adam still had a fine season in high leverage. The 32-year-old recorded 11 holds in a setup role to go along with 12 saves as the Rays fill-in closer whenever Pete Fairbanks was on the IL. As to be expected, there was some ERA regression, but Adam tied for 16th among qualified relievers with a 1.01 WHIP. He issued more free passes, but produced a 31.1% strikeout rate that was in line with 2022. Adam posted nearly identical strikeout totals with his 3 main offerings - 24 with his sweeper (30% usage), 23 with his changeup (35.2%) and 22 with his 4-seamer (33.4%). The right-hander did miss time at the end of last season with an oblique strain that required two trips to the injured list. Since this type of injury can linger, monitor his velocity and performance during spring training, assuming he's healthy enough to return for camp. Read Past Outlooks

Loses arbitration case
Adam lost his arbitration case to the Rays and will earn $2.7 million in 2024, Mark Feinsand of MLB.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Adam is in the second year of arbitration eligibility and asked for $3.25 million. He's turned in two excellent seasons with the Rays, and he posted a 2.98 ERA and 1.01 WHIP with 12 saves and 11 holds in 2023. Adam should remain a high-leverage reliever for the team in 2024, even if Pete Fairbanks ends up with most of the save opportunities.

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.
