The Los Angeles Dodgers bullpen was the best in baseball in 2016, posting a league-leading 3.35 ERA despite also throwing an MLB-high 590.2 innings. The heavy load was in response to manager Dave Roberts leaning on his relievers as the rotation was constantly ravished by injuries.
One of the main contributors out of the bullpen, at least in the second half of the season, was left-hander Grant Dayton. The 28-year-old began the season with Double-A Tulsa, where he pitched in 12 games and had a 3.45 ERA and 0.70 WHIP in 15.2 innings.
He was then promoted to Triple-A Oklahoma City and appeared in 26 games.
