The New York Yankees are known to have one of the best, if not the best, bullpens in all of Major League Baseball. The “big five,” which includes Aroldis Chapman, Adam Ottovino, Zack Britton, Tommy Kahnle, and Chad Green are the reason why and rightly so.
According to ESPN.com, the New York Yankees were ranked the ninth-best bullpen in terms of numbers. They posted a 4.08 ERA and allowed a .242 opposing batting average. It’s important to note that because of the numerous pitching injuries the club had, a lot of the slack had to be picked up from the bullpen.
