Last season, the LA Angels were forced to lean on Dillon Peters heavily down the stretch. As injuries continuously weakened the rotation, they moved him from a bullpen arm to the rotation.
His results throughout the season were iffy at best. A 5.38 ERA isn’t anything to write home about. However, there is some light. Prior to a disastrous month of September, Peters sported a more respectable 4.13 ERA. He showed flashes of being a potential rotation piece prior to his putrid last month of the season.
Next year, though, the Angels are hoping they won’t have to rely on Dillon Peters the starting pitchers, but Dillon Peters the reliever instead.
