How does the Nationals bullpen compare to the rest of the NL East

To say the Washington Nationals bullpen in 2019 was a disappointment is an understatement. They were atrocious and almost ruined the teams season. The bullpen ranked dead last in ERA with a 5.66, tied for third worst in blown saves with 29, 26th in FIP with a 4.94, and were 28th in opponents batting average with a .266. While the bullpen improved throughout the season, they were mostly unreliable outside of Sean Doolittle and trade deadline acquisition Daniel Hudson. In their World Series run, Manager Dave Martinez managed the bullpen by using his starters in relief role’s when needed.
