This year we got to see the MLB debut of the young 30 years old (relative) relief pitcher James Hoyt. I was very looking forward to his call up after reading raving reviews by Morgan Ensberg.
Primarily a slider pitcher, Hoyt was having a stellar season at AAA Fresno with a 1.64 ERA and .87 WHIP. In 49 games and 55 innings pitched, he was a lights out, primarily closing while allowing only two home runs while notching 93 strikeouts. He was awarded for his time at Fresno with a 2016 Mid-Season and Post-Season All-Star nod.
