2016 Dodgers review: Chris Hatcher

Injuries and ineffectiveness marred the 2016 campaign of Chris Hatcher in his second year with the Dodgers.

What went right

From May 1 through June 22 (hooray, selective endpoints), Hatcher posted a 2.50 ERA in 15 games, with 19 strikeouts and seven unintentional walks in 18 innings.

Left-handed batters were just 9-for-60 with one extra-base hit (a home run) against Hatcher, hitting .150/.282/.200 against him.

Hatcher allowed only three of his 15 inherited runners (20%) to score. MLB average was 30% in 2016.

What went wrong

Hatcher saw his strikeout rate decrease from 27.
