It was an unbelievable experience.”</p><p>Currently in his 14th season in the big leagues, Jansen has long been a dominant late-game force. The three-time all-star has a career ERA of 2.43 and has seven seasons with 35 or more saves.</p><p>He’s already up to nine saves in 2023 in 10 opportunities, allowing one earned run in 12 total appearances. Jansen joined the Red Sox after an up-and-down year with the Atlanta Braves last season which saw him lead the NL in saves with 41 but also have his second-highest ERA in a season at 3.38. Ironically, Jansen’s 400th save was against the Braves in a 5-2 Red Sox win.</p><p>The Red Sox are one of the surprise stories of the 2023 MLB season thus far, thanks in large part to Jansen’s work out of the bullpen. Boston has won 9 of its last 11 and sits at 22-16 on the season.</p><p>With another major career milestone wrapped up, Kenley Jansen has a chance to continue to climb the all-time saves list.

Graterol is known for his impressive velocity, however, he’s been throwing a cutter along with his fastball since 2021. The Dodgers’ reliever recently revealed that Kenley Jansen, who’s now with the Boston Red Sox, and Walker Buehler helped to <a href="https://www.ocregister.com/2023/03/19/dodgers-brusdar-graterol-working-to-expand-his-arsenal/" rel="noopener">teach him the pitch</a>, per Bill Plunkett of the <i>The Orange County Register</i>.</p><p>“Kenley (Jansen) was the one that originally helped me throw the pitch, taught me the pitch,” Graterol said via an interpreter. “He was more teaching me where to throw it, not so much the grip. (Walker) Buehler was the one who taught me the grip. Kenley was the one who taught me where to locate it.”</p><p>Developing a key secondary pitch is crucial for big league pitchers. They can’t simply rely on a fastball regardless of how fast they may throw it. Graterol’s cutter is his secret weapon.</p><p>Graterol was expected to compete for the closer role in 2023. Dave Roberts, however, is willing to <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dodgers-news-dave-roberts-reveals-potential-los-angeles-2023-closer-strategy" rel="noopener">utilize a closer-by-committee strategy</a> to open the season. The Dodgers’ bullpen features a number of capable closing options. Evan Phillips was the favorite to win the job, but it appears as if Phillips, Graterol, and others will all receive save opportunities depending on the situation.</p><p>Regardless of his role, Brusdar Graterol will play a pivotal role for the Dodgers assuming he’s able to stay healthy. The right-hander has unfortunately dealt with injury trouble over the past few years, so LA will certainly monitor his health closely throughout the 2023 campaign. The sky’s the limit for him if he can stay on the mound.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
