Dodgers 2018 Player Review: Kenley Jansen

For most mere mortals, the 2018 season Kenley Jansen had would be considered memorable. For Jansen and the Los Angeles Dodgers? A massive disappointment.

Coming off arguably the best season of his career, Jansen was leaned on to stabilize a bullpen full of question marks and unknowns. Unfortunately, he became arguably the greatest question mark.

After never seeing his season ERA even approach 3.00 (and coming off a season in which it was 1.32), Jansen posted a 3.01 ERA with a 4.03 FIP across 69 appearances. He also converted 38 of 42 save opportunities.

Again, for most this would be a solid-to-great season, but with Jansen it became a massive cause for concern.
