A high strikeout, low BB, high groundball, high IF/F, low HR/F, low babip pitcher. I know he’s a reliever, and his career SO rate is high, but not that high for an elite reliever, but it’s still, you add all of his components up, and it’s obvious hitters just don’t wood on his stuff, all while maintaining low walk totals. All with one pitch. One very wicked pitch.

ESPN did something good on Sunday night…. instead of going to commercial, they stayed on the air and showed Rivera running in from the bullpen and starting his warm-ups with Enter Sandman playing.
