Despite the disastrous outings before April 15, Wei-Yin Chen is becoming a potent member out of Marlins’s bullpen. Since then, he pitched 25.2 innings with 7.71(K/9), 1.75(BB/9), 0.35 (HR/9), 3.86(ERA), 2.55(FIP) , 90(xFIP-) and 3.93(XFIP), all comparable to those of the recently touted Ian Kennedy. In the 17 outings by Chen since April 15, 8 of them last more than 2 innings. Also, he served as loogy once on May 21 and got the job done with three pitches. His ground ball rates now rose to 44.7%. For those who are eyeing on the postseason and looking for a veteran left-handed reliever that can start, carry out multiple inning relief or just get one lefty out, Wei-Yin may worth the look.
