From Mason Miller to Jhoan Duran, high-impact relievers defined this year’s frenetic Trade Deadline.
Catch up on everything that you may have missed over the last few days by watching “Baseball and Coffee,” hosted by longtime reliever Adam Ottavino. The 15-year Major League veteran breaks down all the big-name relievers moved at this year’s Deadline on the MLB YouTube channel.
Ottavino uses the same dugout iPad that players use on the field to provide in-depth analysis on the game’s biggest stories. And this week, relievers take center stage.
Want to know what sort of pitchers the Yankees are getting with their three new relievers, like former All-Stars David Bednar and Camilo Doval? Are you curious about right-hander Tyler Rogers, the unconventional, submarine right-hander acquired by the Mets? Or do you want to know more about the qualities that make Miller so good, and worth one of the game’s best prospects?
Then “Baseball and Coffee” is the place for you.
Last week, Ottavino broke down everything from Steven Kwan’s rare multihomer game to David Peterson’s continued breakout, using his “Bible” -- Baseball Savant. You can check out last week’s episode here to get a taste of what “Baseball and Coffee” is all about. Ottavino also has additional content on his YouTube channel.
Ottavino, 39, has plenty of expertise to draw from. He has a 3.48 career ERA in 744 2/3 innings across stints with the Cardinals, Rockies, Yankees, Red Sox, and Mets.
