The Dodgers have become adept at unlocking potential of relievers cast off by other teams, with Yohan Ramírez, Anthony Banda and Michael Petersen being the latest examples.
Evan Phillips has seen this movie before, and the reason it looks so familiar is because the Dodgers closer starred in it himself. The script goes like this: Struggling reliever is cast off by one and often multiple teams. Reliever is acquired by Dodgers, who suggest mechanical tweaks to his delivery, a new pitch, a different grip, a change in pitch sequencing and perhaps a new mental approach. Reliever becomes a high-functioning member of the Dodgers bullpen.
“I’m very thankful to the coaches and Dave Roberts for instilling that confidence and showing me how to use my pitches in a different way.” Ramírez hit a low point in May when he was designated for assignment by the Orioles and Mets after giving up 11 earned runs in 14 ⅓ innings of a combined 10 big-league appearances. “You always believe in yourself and your abilities and talent, but sometimes it’s very difficult to bounce around, it gets a bit demoralizing,” Ramírez said.
