When last we saw Brian Wilson, he was struggling with the Dodgers. A far cry from the three time All Star closer, Wilson had posted a 4.66 ERA and a 1.614 WHiP before being shut down due to elbow issues. The Dodgers released Wilson at the end of the season, eating $9.5 Million in salary.
After not pitching at all in 2015 and 2016, Wilson is looking to make a comeback. In doing so, he is a completely different player than the one we had come to know. His trademark beard is gone, and Wilson is looking to make his comeback as a knuckleballer.
