Bullpen Report: April 18, 2022

by Jon Becker

April 18, 2022

The 2022 version of Bullpen Report includes five different sections, as well as the closer chart, which can be found at the bottom of the page.

We will always include a link to the full Closer Depth Chart at the bottom of the Bullpen Report each day. It’s also accessible from the RosterResource drop-down menu and from any RosterResource page. Please let us know what you think.

Notable Workloads: Primary closers or valuable members of a closer committee who have been deemed unavailable or likely unavailable for the current day due to recent workload.
Injury News
Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
Losing A Grip: Struggling closers who could be on the hot seat.

The “RosterResource” link will take you to the corresponding team’s RosterResource depth chart, which will give you a better picture of the full bullpen and results of the previous six days (pitch count, save, hold, win, loss, blown save).

•David Bednar, PIT: 15 pitches on Sunday; 24 pitches on Saturday. | RosterResource

Co-closer Chris Stratton threw 28 pitches on Saturday but had Sunday off, so he should be good to go on Monday if needed. Anthony Banda is the top lefty option.
