Before Sean Doolittle suffered a stress reaction in his left foot before the All-Star Break last summer, which ended up costing him over two months on the Disabled List, the Nationals’ 32-year-old closer put up a 1.45 ERA, 1.98 FIP, three walks (0.72 K/9), 49 Ks (11.81 K/9), and a .134/.167/.220 line against in 37 1⁄3 innings pitched.
Doolittle returned from the DL stint in early September, posting a 2.35 ERA, a 1.47 FIP, three walks (3.52 BB/9), 11 Ks (12.91 K/9), and a .143/.226/.179 line against in 7 2⁄3 innings in the final month of the season.
