Dodgers: The Enigmatic Pedro Baez

Admittedly whenever I hear Pedro Baez’s name I think of David Wright knocking in a couple runs in the Dodgers’ 2015 Divisional Round against the Mets. A lot of this has to do with the fact that Baez is always pitching in high leverage late-inning situations.

If he were to come in during the fifth or sixth inning and gave up a run it wouldn’t be viewed as critical as him coming into the seventh or eighth inning and allowing a few runs to score. Outside of a couple bad playoff stints, Pedro Baez has been arguably one of the top setup relievers in baseball.
