The Dodgers’ bullpen is home to two of the five slowest pitchers in baseball this season. Here are the five biggest lollygaggers, as ranked by average seconds between pitches (minimum 20 innings pitched):
1. Pedro Baez, Dodgers 32.1
2. Jason Frasor, Royals 29.6
3. Tony Sipp, Astros 28.9
4. Joaquin Benoit, Padres 28.7
5. Adam Liberatore, Dodgers 28.6
The Dodgers haven’t announced who will start Saturday against the Milwaukee Brewers, but Brandon Beachy is a candidate. If so, it will be Beachy’s first major league appearance since undergoing Tommy John surgery in March 2014.
