Rest-of-Season Projections
Sharp in spring
Akin has struck out four and walked one without allowing a hit or a run over four innings across three Grapefruit League games.
ANALYSIS
Akin and Jonathan Heasley appear to be in contention for a multi-inning spot in the Orioles' bullpen. Both players will likely feature at times this season, though neither is set for a fantasy-friendly role. Akin struggled with a 6.85 ERA over 23.2 innings last season and ended the year with a back injury, which doesn't appear to be a concern in 2024. His 2.95 FIP and .434 BABIP in 2023 suggest he was vastly unlucky, which could lead to a bounce-back campaign ahead.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Will remain in rotation
Akin has earned wins in consecutive outings and will remain in the rotation for the remainder of the season, Roch Kubatko of MASN Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
The lefty has simplified his game by pitching exclusively from the stretch and it appears to be working, as he's allowed two earned runs with 11 strikeouts in 12 innings over his last two starts. Manager Brandon Hyde said he wants to keep starting Akin to see how he handles the Orioles' strong competition in September, which includes plenty of games against the Red Sox, Blue Jays and Yankees. Akin's 6.90 ERA through 75.2 innings this season is far from pretty, but it's already down from 7.92 a couple weeks ago and will continue improving if he maintains his recent run of success.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2021
2017
Akin's move to the bullpen worked for both player and team in 2022. He covered 81.2 innings in 45 appearances (one start), posting a 3.20 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and 77:20 K:BB. Those numbers are very solid for a multi-inning reliever, but that role doesn't lend itself to much fantasy value, as he had just two saves, three holds and a 3-3 record. The southpaw made some strides by keeping the ball down better (average launch angle of 7.9), which trimmed his HR/9 to 1.1. He also cut down his BB/9 to 2.2 from 3.8 a year before, when he worked mainly as a starter. With big-name prospects on the horizon, Akin's unlikely to enter the rotation in 2023 barring a massive bite from the injury bug. In deeper fantasy formats, he may have some appeal as a ratio stabilizer with decent strikeout potential, but the lack of saves won't change.
