Brandon and Brock

In a game which saw Brandon McCarthy drop his ERA to 2.87 and the Dodgers score 12 runs, Brock Stewart quietly showed why he could be a very valuable piece in the Dodger bullpen. The bullpen is his role… at least this year. I think he can be a starter in the future, but his exceptional control (1.4 walks per 9 innings in 2016), and arsenal of pitches makes him a perfect fit for the bullpen. He has a two-seamer and a four-seamer that touches 97 with movement, and his changeup is also a plus pitch. His slider is really a cutter and is also a very good pitch for a pitcher who can pitch multiple innings.
