Seranthony Dominguez and Louis Varland were acquired to fill a crucial void in the Blue Jays' bullpen. They are quickly cementing their roles and expected to perform well under pressure during the playoff push. Despite a recent rough outing against the Royals, they have shown strong potential. Dominguez's advanced stats highlight his ability as a high-leverage arm, with impressive strikeout capabilities and impactful pitch types. Varland is also anticipated to contribute significantly to the team's bullpen performance in critical situations.
Dominguez's Baseball Savant page lights up bright red across the board, once you exclude his 13.2 walk rate. The signs that he will be a high-leverage arm with potential to close are evident.
Dominguez is above the 90th percentile in many categories, including fastball velocity, average exit velocity, whiff rate, strikeout rate, and hard-hit rate, which all add up to a pitcher being a stud.
His ability to induce swing and miss primarily comes from the sweeper and split-finger, which both have batting averages against of a mere .105 this year.
Newcomers Varland and Dominguez will waste no time strengthening Blue Jays' bullpen as they help out in high-leverage situations during the playoff push.
