Bullpen Report: April 28, 2022

by
April 28, 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.

  1. 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.
  2. Injury News 
  3. Outlier Saves: Explanation for a non-closer earning a save during the previous day.
  4. Committee Clarity: Notes on a closer committee that clarify a pitcher’s standing in the group.
  5. 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.)

While the NFBC Main Event garners most of the attention, there are a handful of leagues with even a larger entry fee ($2.5K to $15K). They get originally named “High Stakes Leagues” and this year there are nine of them. With so much money on the line, these fantasy managers are going to try to gain any advantage.

Jakob Junis (8): It’s not surprising at all that the Giants added a cast-off from another team and re-invented him. First, he’s throwing his slider 54% of the time, and here are the pitch’s comps.

The pitch’s results might improve as seen by the comps. One issue is that he’s not throwing it for strikes with just 27% Zone%. Read the rest of this entry »

1:10

Paul Sporer: For the short-term, I think so. Was just discussing it on my stream this morning bc we were looking at Santana’s struggles. Vinnie Pasquantino is raking while Pratto hasn’t been so I think he’d get the first call
