An Achilles heel for the Los Angeles Dodgers over recent seasons was a shaky bullpen that often led to Clayton Kershaw appearing in relief come October. There have been triumphs and shortcomings with that approach, and ultimately a World Series title has remained elusive.
On top of having arguably their deepest collection of position players, the Dodgers bullpen also emerged as one of the best in baseball. Their 2.74 ERA ranked first in the National League, 1.04 WHIP was best in the Majors and so too was the group’s .207 batting average against.
Dylan Floro, Victor Gonzalez, Brusdar Graterol, Adam Kolarek, Jake McGee and Blake Treinen were among the standouts throughout the year.
