2024 Fantasy Outlook
Butto received an extended look in the Mets' rotation last season and was solid with a 3.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 38:23 K:BB over 42 innings. He fared much worse at Triple-A Syracuse (5.93 ERA in 19 starts), which gives some pause for the big-league numbers given the small sample size. The right-hander isn't likely to make the Opening Day rotation in 2024 but could earn a spot in the bullpen with a strong showing in spring training. Read Past Outlooks

Takes tough-luck loss against Cubs
PNew York Mets
May 1, 2024
Butto (0-2) took the loss against the Cubs on Wednesday, allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out six batters over six innings.
ANALYSIS
Butto pitched well in the outing, notching his third quality start of the campaign and racking up 15 swinging strikes. However, he was outshined by impressive rookie Shota Imanaga, who had another dazzling performance with seven scoreless frames. Despite the loss, Wednesday's effort should continue to keep Butto's name on the minds of fantasy managers who are looking to improve their rotation. Though the right-hander doesn't have overpowering stuff, he's impressed so far this season, posting a 2.57 ERA, 1.07 WHIP and 31:14 K:BB over 28 innings.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Butto made his big-league debut in August and was rocked for seven runs on nine hits -- including a couple home runs -- over four innings in Philadelphia. That's going to leave a mark for a while, but one poor outing should not overshadow Butto's larger body of work between Double-A and Triple-A in 2022. The right-hander pitched to a 3.56 ERA and 138:44 K:BB in 129 innings across the two highest levels of minor-league baseball last season, establishing himself as a prospect to watch in the Mets organization. He's a fastball-curveball-changeup pitcher with a 10-mph gulf in velocity between the heater and offspeed. The Mets don't need to force the issue, but Butto is on the 40-man roster and will be a candidate for spot starts and cleanup duty as needed.
