Dodgers Projected Bullpen and High Leverage Situation

We just gave you a look at the Dodgers 25-Man Roster, now let’s dive a little deeper and further examine the bullpen specifically. There are traditional stats that we use to evaluate pitchers like wins/losses, ERA, WHIP, and for relievers, saves of course. Sabermetrics has given us Field Independent Pitching (FIP), Batting Average on Balls In Play (BABIP), and Wins Above Replacement. These have become more commonplace in mainstream baseball circles the past few seasons. However, none of these tools provide the best metric to evaluate how relievers perform in high leverage situations; the save is not the end all.
