Spring reliever wrap-up 2025, NL
Mar 21 2025
Every March, the goal is to ignore the noise with the exception being if the manager commits to a player's role, to carefully watch the injuries, and then to watch for a terrific strikeout rate (K%) and compare it to the walk rate (BB%) to find that high strikeouts and good command have the reliever ready for the season.
Easier said than done.
A lot happens on back fields and under controlled conditions and the scanty numbers of innings by relievers makes it hard to really know what you are even looking at until the reliever gets rocked on April 6 and then you kinda know.
Here are some NL arms that impressed me this spring (for what little it is worth):
| NL | IP | K/BB | H | ERA | WHIP |
| J.Alvarado (PHI) (L) | 7 | 16/3 | 2 | 0.00 | 0.71 |
| J.Romero (STL) (L) | 8 | 13/3 | 3 | 0.00 | 0.75 |
Almost!
