Yuki Matsui: 0.3 fWAR, 64 G, 62.2 IP, 3.73 ERA, 1.165 WHIP, 69 K, 27 BB, 8 HR, 0 HBP
Positives From This Season
I feel like Matsui was one of those relievers who got more negativity on social media than he deserved. After a couple three earned run outings, some wanted him off the team but then he went on to shutout his opponent in 12 consecutive games after that.
Righties hit .196 off him and batters hit .197 when Matsui pitched on the road.
He’s not someone I expect to be a part of the postseason high leverage group next year but he’ll still be a guy that can get outs for you to help you get to October.
