There were a lot of question marks surrounding the bullpen entering 2019, particularly after such a disastrous 2018 season. To correct it, the Cardinals brass signed Andrew Miller to settle down the left side, Jordan Hicks was handed the reins to the highest leverage at-bats, Alex Reyes was added, John Brebbia’s role was expanded, and John Gant shifted from the rotation to the bullpen. All of it was to be supported by a flurry of depth acquisitions over the last few years, each of them with impressive strikeout rates.
