Going into the 2019 season, Chad Green looked to be one of the pillars of the Yankees’ dominant bullpen. Fresh off a two-year breakout during which he posted a 2.18 ERA and accumulated a total of 6 WAR as a reliever, there was no reason to expect anything less.
Of course, the bottom fell out in April when he posted a 16.43 ERA in ten appearances. However, following a stint in Triple-A Scranton, Green returned to form, posting a 2.64 ERA the rest of the way. In the process, he served as both a middle-innings reliever and as an opener (making 15 starts) with the ability to pitch multiple innings when necessary.
