The bullpen ranks 26th out of 30 major-league teams in opponent’s OPS (.733). Giants relievers rank 25th in ERA (4.62). They rank 25th in Wins Above Average (minus-1.7).
The Giants have juggled roles because Miller (holding lefties to a .115 average and all opponents to 4.5 hits per nine innings) and Walker (who hasn’t given up an extra-base hit to a right-handed batter in 58 confrontations this season) have simply been that nasty whenever they’ve taken the mound.
Whenever Tyler Rogers struggled the reason was simple. He wasn’t throwing enough strikes. This season, his zone rate of 59.2 percent is the best of his career.
Hjelle has a 1.46 ERA over his last nine appearances. He’s struck out 15 without walking a batter over those 12 1/3 innings.
RanRod has 12 strikeouts vs. three walks in 8 2/3 innings and he’s fared well despite being pushed out of necessity into a multiple-inning role that he hadn’t experienced since being converted from the rotation to relief following the 2022 season at High-A Eugene.
The Giants bullpen, as presently constituted, is much better than its aggregate statistics. Remember that minus-1.7 Wins Above Average? Those inputs included minus-2.0 WAA from Kai-Wei Teng, Daulton Jefferies, Mitch White, Landen Roupp and Nick Avila. Among that group, only Avila is still on the active roster. Addition by subtraction.
