Ryan Pressly is Gonna Have to Do

A not so fun fact.

During the last series of the Astros’ season every active relief pitcher on the team was a rookie. Except one. The only veteran reliever that managed to make it to the end of the season for the 2020 Astros was Ryan Pressly.

As such, naturally he became the closer. But truth be told, the 2019 All-Star has been a disappointment in 2020. He’s more like the unremarkable pitcher acquired just before the trade deadline in 2018, not the transformed super set-up man he became for the Astros in the second half of 2018 and first half of 2019.
