RELIEVERS: Last word on spring training from 2021
Mar 28 2021
This week, the column focuses on some things that happened during spring training that you should tuck into your back pocket as the season gets underway.
Let's start in Boston where both Matt Barnes (RHP, BOS) and Adam Ottavino (RHP, BOS) each had a nice month of March:
BOS IP K BB HR H ER ================ === == == == == == M.Barnes 5.1 8 3 0 2 0 A.Ottavino 5.1 6 1 0 5 0 H.Sawamura 3.2 6 7 0 3 2 D.Hernandez (L) 4.2 4 6 0 2 2 G.Whitlock 9.0 12 0 0 8 1
As good as it has been for Barnes and Ottavino, you can see that Hirokazu Sawamura (RHP, BOS) and Darwinzon Hernandez (LHP, BOS) have had some early wildness in their outings. This is not all that unusual in spring training...
