After re-signing Zack Britton and adding free agent Adam Ottavino, the Yankees somehow entered the season with an upgraded bullpen yet again. This is the third straight year in which the Yankees boasted what is most likely the best relief crew in all of baseball.
Now, on paper, that’s certainly what one would think looking at the stats from these arms over the past few years. Each pitcher wields an arsenal that should only exist in a Wiffle ball game. Whether it’s Ottavino’s slider, Britton’s sinker, or Dellin Betances’s knuckle-curve, it’s just not fair for batters.
