Paul Sewald's long-anticipated return from the injured list has come with stellar results.
A team is often as good as its closer. He is the arm that comes in to shut down the opposition in the game's most key moments, getting the highest leverage outs, and securing victories. The D-backs and their closer Paul Sewald are no different.
Sewald in his purest form is a two pitch arm, using his fastball and sweeper to make batters uncomfortable and confused. It is a game of deception when he tows the slab, so much so that he can make batters look baffled as they are late on a 92 mph fastball. This in large part stems from his unique arm angle and delivery.
May 9, 2024; Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Dbacks closer points to the sky after collecting first save of 2024 / Katie Stratman-USA TODAY Sports Paul Sewald would return from the Injured List on May 7th during a series in Cincinnati where he would also make his season debut. He gave up one run on a solo home run, but still closed the game out and secured a Diamondbacks victory. Since then he hasn't skipped a beat.
Sewald is a key member of the Diamondbacks from a player and leadership perspective. His presence in the bullpen makes the whole team better. He will play a key role for the team as they try to work themselves back into a winning position, and as the rest of the roster gets healthy.
