Motte has allowed two hits and two runs while striking out three batters through four innings pitched this spring.
EDGE Analysis
Motte has held hitters to a .143 batting average this spring, so the two runs allowed are not the best reflection of how well the right-hander has been pitching this spring. He's also been showcasing his historically-good control, as he hasn't walked a batter so far. Motte is currently in the running to be the closer for Colorado, although he has some tough competition for the job in left-hander Jake McGee. Getting the closer role would be a boon to Motte's fantasy value, but he'll have to continue pitching well in order to claim that position for himself.
