Seems sub-optimal. Seems like we have a lot of pitching death so not devastating if he can’t get it going but he was so useful in the multi-inning relief role last year

Definitely a lot of pitching death with this organization.

 

Not as much as cardinals though

Bellinger's dong today is getting all the press, but I'm noticing the 4 BBs and only 5 Ks in 37 spring PAs.

 

There's some research from Dan Rosenheck that K's and BB's are the primary stats that matter in ST. Bellinger's not going to get back to the damn near even BB/K from his MVP season, but if he can be something like 11%/24% like he was in 2018, that's a huge improvement from where he was the last two years. That'd actually get him back to being an above average hitter even if his contact quality didn't rebound at all.

Looks like Dansby's getting going right on time:
