Michael King has been one of the Yankees’ best relievers on the 2022 season as a whole. Names have fallen off the depth chart because of various reasons, yet the sinkerballer is still an integral part of the team’s plans this year.
King has a 3.10 ERA and a 1.07 WHIP across 29 innings this year, with 38 strikeouts against just six walks. Those are valuable numbers. He was, together with Clay Holmes, the Yankees’ most reliable reliever in April.
That month, the right-hander dominated to the tune of a 0.69 ERA in 13 innings, walking just three hitters and fanning 20.
