2023 earnings: Pre-Arbitration
- 2024 status: 26-man roster
Introduction & 2023 review
Kyle Nelson’s D-backs tenure isn’t very long as this is only his second full season in the bullpen after being claimed off waivers from the Cleveland Guardians late after the disastrous 2021 season. That futility allowed the D-backs their choice on the waiver wire that offseason and finding a viable bullpen piece in Nelson is a win for Mike Hazen.
A 15th-round selection in the MLB Draft, Kyle did nothing but strike hitters out throughout his time in the minors.
