Perhaps the epitome of the 2018 season for the Los Angeles Dodgers has been All-Star closer Kenley Jansen. Since the start of Spring Training he’s yet to find sustained success that met expectations.
Jansen was used sparingly in camp, then suffered from hamstring issues. His velocity was diminished at the outset of the season and has only marginally increased.
But Jansen’s mechanics have betrayed him during various stretches, and he also dealt with another irregular heartbeat. That further disrupted any possible consistency he was in the process of generating.
Jansen of late has shown growing signs of frustration when on the mound.
