Wake alum, Jared Schuster, has also been dominant in AA and could get a look pretty soon.

Well I was corrected that some stats don’t matter for pitchers, but some context helps.
Tied for 1st in Save Situations 22 above MLB average
3rd in Saves and Blown saves since lots more chances
6th worst in Inherited runners scoring %
MLB avg in wins in relief 16 but below avg in Ls in relief 11, tied for 9th best.
MLB avg in outs and pitches per game in relief.
Offense carries us, defense makes a difference, Starters have come around and Bullpen holds their own.
Kind of like in May when some folks said this team was hot garbage. Instead all they did was get white hot.
Patience young Jedi!

Boom, Boom, speed contributes and the bullpen has delivered. RPs leading the Majors in FIP, strikeout rate and WAR. Matzek gets a scoreless inning.
