In what has been described as one of the most challenging seasons of his career, Kenley Jansen continues to search for answers while hoping to prove his worthiness in the backend of the Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen.
After showing signs of decline last season, Jansen vowed to pitch more consistently this past Spring Traing in effort to stay on top of his game. That didn’t lend to consistent results, which prompted another change.
The Dodgers no longer solely deploy Jansen in just save situations, but rather at least once every series regardless of the scenario. The new usage plan came to fruition with the end goal of Jansen finding his groove before the postseason.
