Josh Fields

Josh Fields was one of the worst relievers for the Dodgers in the World Series.  He was knocked around in game two of the World Series and finished with an 18.00 ERA for the series.  Still, that doesn’t take away from the very solid season that Fields had for the Dodgers.  He posted a 2.84 ERA for the regular season and a stellar 0.96 WHIP.  While wins are not a very good statistic to judge relievers off of, there is something to be said about a reliever that wins six games and loses zero.

Fields is a very tough reliever on opposing right-handed batters as he only allowed a .169 average against last season.  He even posted a respectable .232 average allowed to left-handed hitters.  Fields will enter the 2018 season as one of the middle relief pitchers for Dave Roberts’ bullpen.  With Yimi Garcia coming off two lost seasons and Tom Koehler being a reclamation project, Josh Fields could end up being a vital part of the 2018 bullpen.
