Chad Green is still very much a key reliever for the New York Yankees. And, as his 2.84 ERA and 2.90 FIP suggest, he is still a top bullpen contributor, or at least has been so far. Green has pitched 6.1 innings and everything looks fine in the run-prevention department. However, he is fanning just 7.11 hitters per nine frames (down from 10.65 in 2021) and walking 4.26, up from 1.83 last year.
Is everything OK with Green? Well, his trademark fastball isn’t yet where he wants it to be in 2022, and that is worth raising an eyebrow more than the 6.
