A few weeks ago we looked at how the Yankees’ starters fared when it comes to Statcast Percentile rankings. Today, we’re going to see how the bullpen measures up, and holy cow is it fun.
As a Yankee fan, you’re normally averse to seeing lots of red. But in Dellin’s case, I’ve never been happier to see such a beautiful, deep red. Elite fastball velocity, elite fastball spin, beyond elite K%, and such great predictive outcome data on xwOBA, xBA, and xSLG. As long as Dellin can get the ball remotely near the strike zone, he’ll be one of the best relievers in the game year in and year out because that stuff is beyond electric.
