SAN DIEGO -- Looking to get a rise out of Alex Colome? If you're a big league batter, you might as well look someplace else.
And, no, this is not an indictment on Colome's relationship with the Rays' hitters. He gets along with them just fine.
Rather, it's a compliment on Colome's ability to prevent the competition from lifting his pitches. Among all relievers with at least 60 innings since the start of 2015, Colome has allowed the fewest extra-base hits: eight. That's four fewer than the flamethrowing Aroldis Chapman and seven fewer than all-world stopper Wade Davis.
