Jonathan Holder has been a welcome surprise in the Yankees bullpen

The Yankees have enjoyed quite the bounceback from flamethrower Chad Green, who is the current team leader in FanGraphs’ version of WAR with 0.4. David Hale has pitched better than expected (3.00 ERA, 2.20 FIP in six frames) and Adam Ottavino has managed to get important outs despite struggling with walks. Zack Britton (1.35 ERA in six innings, with six saves) has filled in nicely for Aroldis Chapman as the closer. The Luises, Cessa and Avilan, have performed well in limited exposure.

Yet Jonathan Holder has been the unsung hero of the unit at the outset of the season, alongside Green of course.
