Ryan Buchter : Diamondbacks Primary Left Hand Reliever?

Look up the definition of journeyman left hand reliever, and you might find an image of Ryan Buchter. You probably also will find his picture next to the definition of perseverance as well. Signed to a minor league contract by the D-backs a couple of days ago, he’ll make 925K if he makes the major league roster.

I’m highlighting him and will go into some depth here because I think there is a pretty good chance that he makes the major league roster. He’ll be vying to fill the role that Andrew Chafin filled. The team does not have much left-handed relief depth, and Buchter has had enough success to warrant a shot at the D-backs 2021 pen.
