Anthony Banda was on quite the adventure in Major League Baseball before landing with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
The left-hander had pitched in parts of eight major league seasons with seven different teams before the Dodgers acquired him from Cleveland in May. After that, he became a dependable bullpen arm, allowing only one run and striking out eight in 10 postseason appearances.
Banda achieved career-best numbers in 2024, surpassing his previous totals from eight seasons in which he logged just 168.1 major league innings, posting a 4.92 ERA and a 4.15 FIP overall.
