RELIEVERS: BPV leaders, April 2016

This week, the column examines the BPV leaders for April. Not many years ago, a list of 100+ BPV would have been under 20 relievers. Today, it is closer to 100 relievers. Therefore, this year's list is cut off at a 200(!) BPV. There are plenty of other relievers between 199-135 BPVs who are pitching superbly, so don't take this as the definitive list of elite relievers. But it is the elite list for April's 6-15 innings.

Here are the closers with 200+ BPVs:

This column filters by first two weeks K%-BB% and then looks at the projections to make an early call on whether the elite start is real or not real.

Using projections for skills and early-season usage patterns, we look at five more bullpens.

We are a week into the 2026 season and can start to look for usage patterns in fluid bullpens. Griffin Jax's season so has left managers screaming.

Every week brings changes to bullpens. One game does not give us much, but it gives us something, like a Jordan Romano (RHP, LAA) save.
