One of the most reliable arms in Cleveland’s 2024 bullpen was lefty sophomore Tim Herrin. Drafted by Cleveland in the 29th round of the 2018 draft, Herrin spent just three full seasons in Cleveland’s minor league system (no Minor League Baseball was played in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic) and had an up-and-down rookie season resulting in a 5.53 ERA and 1.482 WHIP across 27.2 innings. While those numbers aren’t anything special, it was the 32 strikeouts he collected that caught the Guardians’ eye.
On October 2, 2023, Herrin was called up to the Major League team once more and hasn’t looked back since.
