Brusdar Graterol has proven to be an invaluable member of the Dodgers bullpen since making his debut in 2020 as a 21-year-old.
For parts of five seasons, “Bazooka” has compiled a terrific 2.69 ERA — allowing only 147 hits and nine homers in 181 innings pitched. The movement on his pitches are elite (as is his stuff). Graterol’s ability to remain calm under pressure made him a favorite high-leverage selection for the coaching staff during the postseason.
This situation bared itself out when Graterol helped the Dodgers win the World Series versus the New York Yankees despite barely featuring in the regular season.
