Even with yesterday’s walk (which included a wild pitch, which ended up mattering), Joe Kelly has the best walk rate of his career. He also has the best strikeout rate of his career (adding two to the total yesterday to work out of the jam and limit damage—pro’s pro right there). His fWAR is up to 0.3 now, with his career-best-as-a-reliever 0.7 within reach, and even his career-best-overall 1.2 on the table.
We are witnessing greatness.
We are seeing Joe Kelly in his prime.
