The Toronto Blue Jays decision to put Yariel rodriguez in the bullpen this season has worked out great for both parties.
Toronto's bullpen has had only a few bright spots so far this season but Rodriguez has definitely be one of them as he continues to be consistent anytime he is asked to step on the mound.
Blue Jays reliever Yariel Rodriguez has been lights out for Toronto this season
When it was revealed that Rodriguez would be pitching out of the bullpen, many questioned the decision but it has made the coaching staff look likes geniuses so far.
So far this season Rodriguez currently has an ERAa of 3.20 in 21 appearances which is far better than anyone would have expected and it would have been even better if it weren't for a couple games that got out of hand.
Rodriguez has had a slightly inflated ERA due to some unlucky plays. Even with a 3.20 ERA through 21 appearances, he has a low 1.03 WHIP, indicating he has been better than that number alone -Trottier
During the Blue Jays series versus the Padres, Rodriguez continued to domniate and completed something that only two other pitchers have done this season, strikeout Luis Arraez.
Arráez is one of the best hitters in the Majors when it comes to plate discipline and through his first 41 games this season, he had only struck out three times. -Trottier
While Blue Jays pitchers have been stepping up their game quite a bit lately with Mason Fluharty, Brendon Little and Yimi Garcia all pitching really well lately, they now need their starting rotation to improve their game.
The rotation was very good against the Padres but they need to find a way to build off of this and continue to improve because their main issue this season has been consistency.
