Texas Rangers: Can Jose Leclerc Be A Reliable Reliever?
Heading into the 2018 season, the Texas Rangers bullpen is actually stronger than it looks. Could a reliever such as Jose Leclerc emerge in 2018, and take the bullpen to that next level?
The sky’s the limit for Texas Rangers reliever Jose Leclerc, but he needs to find his command. Looking at his stats alone, many would be concerned if Leclerc could be legitimately counted on in the Rangers pen.
Last season, Leclerc went 2-3 with a 3.94 ERA in 47 games with two saves. He struck out 60 batters in 45.2 innings, but also walked 40 batters. 2017 was technically his rookie season, but he did pitch in 12 games during 2016.
