In a postseason that contained many memorable pieces, Andrew Saalfrank’s performance down the stretch in 2023 was quite frankly overlooked.
Saalfrank, who was drafted in the 6th round of the 2019 draft, made his major league debut in September of last year, positioning himself in the heat of an extremely tight Wild Card race.
In September, the rookie made 10 appearances, tossing 10.1 innings and only allowing two earned runs, both of which came in the same game. Primarily coming in during the 6th or 7th inning, Saalfrank quickly emerged as a centerpiece in the Diamondbacks bullpen.
