Dodgers News: Andrew Friedman Believes Kenley Jansen’s Struggles In 2018 Were Due To Mechanical Issues

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen has established himself as one of the best relievers in all of baseball over the last decade or so, but for much of the 2018 season, he did not look like his usual self.

Jansen got off to a rough start to the season, but eventually found his way and was named a National League All-Star for the third consecutive season. He dealt with a heart issue in August and struggled upon returning.

That included the postseason when he blew back-to-back saves against the Boston Red Sox in the World Series by giving up solo home runs.
