is a 35-year-old, right-handed reliever. He’s played 11 seasons in the MLB, playing for the Padres, Astros, Rangers, Cubs, Mariners, Blue Jays, Marlins, and now the Blue Jays again.
Until 2021 he was a fairly average reliever. Then the Marlins helped him figure things out. Most of which seems to have been to get him throwing his slider most. In 2018 he threw the slider 28.7% of the time. Last year it was 55.7% of the time. That last one can drive a person who plays OOTP Baseball crazy. You think you’ve finally built a good bullpen, and the next year you have to start over again.Rafael Dolis is terrific one season and unusable the next. Trevor Richards, Aaron Loup, the list is endless.
Anyway, counting against Anthony is that his FIP was double his ERA . He left a career-high 89.5% of runners on base. His home runs rate and walk rate were below his career norms. But then he’s been building towards this for the last few years.
