Stephen Tarpley has been one of the standout pitchers in the Marlins bullpen. When you look at his profile, you won’t find a huge repertoire. Probably, the high 5.59 ERA he carried through Saturday won’t make you fall in love with him. But the 27-year-old, whose numbers go beyond that, has found success in 2020.
Acquired from the Yankees via trade back in January, Tarpley registers 9 2⁄3 innings of nine-hit, six-run ball. He’s given up five walks and struck out 10, with a 1.45 WHIP and a 4.60 FIP.
But you gotta go deeper to appreciate what the lefty has done so far.
