Ben Casparius has become an essential player for the Los Angeles Dodgers over the past year. Initially a fifth-round draft pick in 2021, he made significant contributions towards the end of last season, even starting a World Series game. Recently, an injury to Tyler Glasnow led to Casparius stepping up as a starting pitcher again, impressively throwing 3.2 scoreless innings. This performance raised discussions about his potential to transition back to a full-time starter role as the team's injuries mount, reflecting the trust that manager Dave Roberts has in him.
"It's a thought," Roberts said. "He gave us four innings today. He's unflappable. He flooded the strike zone. And he saved our tails today."
Casparius now has a chance to elevate his role even further in light of team injuries, showcasing his potential as a starter.
