It would be safe to say that Ben Casparius has been a true godsend for the Los Angeles Dodgers franchise over the last 12 months.
A little-known prospect from Connecticut, he was selected in the fifth round of the 2021 MLB Draft by the Dodgers. Never was he considered to be a ‘can’t-miss’ prospect or even one of the more elite ones within the system.
Last year, he came up and threw some very meaningful innings toward the end of the regular season. This led to a spot on the postseason roster as an injury replacement for Michael Grove.
