A Look At the LA Angels Bullpen & What To Expect Going Forward

Yusmeiro Petit – The ultimate bullpen utility man

Yusmeiro Petit has also been very solid so far. In the span of 6.0 innings he has a 1.50 ERA, 3 bases on balls, and seven strike outs. He has given up one earned run, which came off of a solo home run. Petit’s average ERA currently sits at 4.54, so I don’t expect his ERA to stay below 2.00 for much longer. Petit does have some experience starting some games. So, if he can keep it as close to 3.00 as he possibly can though, then Petit will be a much needed go to long reliever down the stretch.

Petit has been both a starter and a reliever in his ten years in the majors.  Petit was a key member of the Giants bullpen during their 2014 World Series run pitching multiple innings a number of times and collecting four wins that post-season. Petit has also been a starter with moderate success, but has never made more than 17 starts in a season.  He has also been a set-up man a couple of seasons for the Giants. So wherever he is needed for the Angels, Petit has the experience to perform in multiple situations.

Now onto the bad/too early to tell guys.
