RELIEVERS: Things to watch during Spring Training

Pitchers and catchers have reported in to work, the sun is shining in Florida and Arizona, lots of people are in the best shape of their lives. Here are some role situations to watch this spring and give yourself a leg-up on your competition, starting with Arizona.

BaseballHQ has Arizona projected to spread saves among six relievers in what looks like a pure committee approach on paper. But these situations have a way of sorting themselves out differently as the games begin. Quite probably, things will begin to shift even before games begin. Here are the projected skill sets for the six relievers:

ARI (proj)               Sv Hld  IP  xERA WHIP  K% K%-BB% HR/9  $  ADP

Almost!

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.
