Cincinnati Reds’ 2016 bullpen – a look back at what really happened last season

No pitcher was used more in high leverage situations for the Cincinnati Reds than Raisel Iglesias. Of his 32 relief appearances, he had 24 clean appearances were he neither allowed an inherited runner to score nor allowed an earned run. He completed the season with six saves and seven holds to go along with two blown saves.

The pitcher with the next highest leverage index was the closer, Tony Cingrani. He only entered the game three times over the course of 23 saves attempts with the tying run on base. He blew all three of those saves. Mid-season 2015 there was still debate about where Cingrani belonged, but he is a reliever to stay now.
