When the Milwaukee Brewers acquired Drew Pomeranz back in July, most fans saw his struggles as a starting pitcher and were not pleased with his acquisition, instead hoping for old friend Will Smith in return.
But Pomeranz has been phenomenal since moving to the bullpen full-time and he’s provided a huge boost to the bullpen.
Drew Pomeranz as a reliever: 1.94 ERA with 41 strikeouts in 23.2 innings. That’ll do.

Few expected these kinds of strikeout numbers from Pomeranz and this kind of success.
