Dodgers News: Andrew Friedman Confident Kenley Jansen Can Be ‘Elite’ Once Mechanics Are Ironed Out

The biggest concern for the Los Angeles Dodgers all season long has been how effective their bullpen will be once October rolls around, and that starts with Kenley Jansen.

It is no secret that Jansen hasn’t quite been his old dominant self this season, although he also hasn’t been as bad as some make him out to be, either. In 47 games, Jansen has pitched to a 3.59 ERA, 3.37 FIP, 1.05 WHIP, 63 strikeouts and 11 walks in 47.2 innings while converting 26 of 31 save attempts.

Jansen’s 2019 season is similar to last year in the sense that he has been good, but some appearances have definitely raised concern.
