Devenski Career
In 2016 he came seemingly out of nowhere to become one of baseball’s most effective multi-purpose pitchers, even eliciting comparisons with the Indians’ Andrew Miller. He threw 108.1 innings, with five starts, long and short relief, whatever, wherever or whenever he was needed. He had a 2.16 ERA and was fourth in rookie of the year balloting.
