Díaz Struggles to Close for Dodgers | St. Louis News
Description
The Dodgers’ big bet on Edwin Díaz is unraveling: signed for $69M to be their shutdown closer, he’s instead posting a brutal ERA over 10, blowing more saves in months than last season, with velocity down and hitters making contact like never before. His fastball and slider are being crushed, opponents are swinging at fewer pitches but hitting harder, and the elbow surgery hasn’t fixed the problem. With the season still young, there’s hope — but if Díaz doesn’t turn it around, the Dodgers’ late-inning woes could linger all year.
