Here’s how good Jim Johnson is. Jim Johnson had a lower WHIP than the guy with the most saves last year – Jeurys Familia. Johnson didn’t have an insane amount of saves in 2016, but let’s be honest, nobody would have for the 2016 Atlanta Braves.
The 33-year-old started his 2016 campaign on a rocky road, to say the least. In April/March, he posted a 5.73 ERA, and his ERA for May (when he only pitched 2 innings) was a whopping 16.88. Once he worked some kinks out of his system, he was dominant for the remainder of the summer.
