RELIEVERS: Best of the best in June 2023

This week, who crushed June? Lots and lots of relievers did, so we have to restrict it to those who had a 30+% K%-BB%, which is ridiculously good. Plenty of relievers don't make this list but are still elite skill sets.

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.
