A local friend who reads all my articles suggested I do a follow-up article. This is it! Enjoy!
My 15 November 2022 article recommended that the Diamondbacks acquire relief pitcher David Bednar. Four candidates were considered and my choice was David Bednar. The article explained why he might have been available to acquire.
How good was that recommendation? Was his pitching a bust, was his pitching average, or did his pitching exceed all expectations?
I’m happy to report that he is having a career best season and he exceeded my expectations. This season through 21 May, he pitched 17 one-inning relief appearances with only one earned run.
