And Melancon needs only 12 pitches to put down the Giants in order to finish the game.

I wonder how many saves he had with the Giants that were that quick and easy. Can you believe he's gone through 3 whole games without walking a batter?

2017 he was 11 for 16 in saves
2018 he was 3 for 7
2019 he was 1 for 1

so, not many.

then, after the trade to the Braves, he was 11 for 11

phuk...that...bum.

In 2019, he walked 3.1 batters per 9 with the Giants. Then, with the Braves, he walked 0.9 per 9. His K rate per 9 also went up from 8.5 to 10.3. He was a totally different pitcher when he went to Atlanta. No wonder they were willing to make the trade they did, they obviously saw something that could be corrected. Of course, his walks per 9 went up to 2.8 in 2020 and his Ks per 9 plummeted to 5.6.
