After making his first career All-Star Game appearance, Bassitt had his season viciously halted when he was struck by a line drive that caused multiple facial fractures in mid-August.
Initially thought to be a season-ending injury, the right-hander displayed impeccable determination in returning to the mound to make a pair of starts in late September. Bassitt will hope to continue those trends in after the A's traded him to the Mets shortly after the end of the lockout.
Thought to be on the outside of the rotation looking in when spring training began, Bassitt was thrust into a starting role due to injuries to A. Puk and Jesus Luzardo leading up to Opening Day. 
The right-hander pitched like anything but a back-end starter, posting a 2. He does not have overpowering velocity, and with the number of fastballs he throws, his strikeout numbers are modest However, Bassitt has done away with questions about his role, and with his pitch efficiency, everything sets up well for a second double-digit win season.
He won 10 in while only making 25 starts. Bassitt began the season on the IL with a lower leg injury, returning in mid-April to replace the injured Marco Estrada in Oakland's rotation. He made 25 starts before moving to the bullpen in September, going with a serviceable 3. Bassitt enjoyed a slight velocity bump -- his average fastball clocked in at His flyball tendencies led to a 1.
While Bassitt could push for a rotation spot in , the A's have plenty of starting pitching depth, so there's a chance he opens the season in a long-relief role. The right-hander flashed his potential in such a role down the stretch, striking out nine batters across three scoreless appearances spanning five innings. Bassitt didn't appear in the majors at all in , spending the second half on the farm recapturing velocity after Tommy John surgery the previous year.
In , Bassitt racked up a ton of frequent flyer mileage, making the mile trip between Oakland and Triple-A Nashville seven times. The righty appeared in 11 games for the Athletics, starting seven. He posted a career-best Bassitt features a mph sinking fastball, mixing in a slider, change and curve. The curve generates a solid Bassitt will be in the mix for a rotation spot coming out of the spring, though he may end up in a swingman role.
His low strikeout rate tempers mixed-league value, but if he's starting, Bassitt can be useful in deeper formats, especially if you can reserve him for tough road affairs. Bassitt rode a strong showing in into the campaign, where he was given the chance to be a full-time member of the big league rotation.
Things started off well enough, as he held a 2. However, the wheels came off in the ensuing two starts, as the right-hander proceeded to allow 13 runs all earned on 19 hits including three home runs over that span. His season took an even bigger turn for the worse after his final April start, as it was discovered that he had injured his elbow severely enough to require Tommy John surgery.
With that procedure taking place in May, Bassitt will likely be out of contention for a rotation spot at least until the second half of the season. Getting back into the rotation could be a tall task now that higher-upside arms like Sean Manaea and Jharel Cotton are stepping into the rotation, and with Frankie Montas knocking at the door as well.
Injuries opened the door for Bassitt to join the A's, and he ended up being an effective member of the rotation over the final three months, compiling a 3. Bassitt was the victim of some brutal run support, amassing only one solitary win even though he had eight starts in which he allowed two runs or fewer. He does not project to be a big strikeout pitcher with only a 6. Bassitt's solid performance puts him in the mix for a rotation spot to start , but his chances at that role will depend on how many of the A's healthy pitchers are traded, and how many of their injured arms are ready to go to start the year.
Bassitt shot up the organizational depth chart after leading the White Sox's minor leaguers with strikeouts in He suffered a broken hand in a non-baseball related injury to start the year, but continued to develop unencumbered once he returned to health. Bassitt made a few late-season starts in the big leagues, but his lack of a third pitch resulted in unimpressive strikeout and walk ratios.
The White Sox sent him to the Arizona Fall League to make up some innings, where he struck out 22 in 13 relief innings. Bassitt will likely compete for a rotation spot during spring training, while it's uncertain if he'll simply move to the bullpen or remain stretched out at Triple-A if he doesn't begin the season as a starter with the A's.
