Originally posted by revo View PostI felt compelled to post this after watching him in the WBC tonight.
How does a career mediocrity have one of the greatest seasons by a closer in MLB history completely out of nowhere-- at age 35, no less? Yeah, he once saved 37 games, but if you compare those two seasons, they're night and day.
His BB% plummeted out of nowhere, it seems. His 1.8 BB% is almost HALF his prior season low. Heck, in '11 his BB% was 7.6/9 IP!! His BB/K ratio was by far the highest of his career, and not even close: 5.07, next best is 2.57.
While he never gave up too many HRs, his H% and BB% plunged to seemingly unsustainable levels.
I was born in NYC, so I'm naturally a skeptic. I ain't buying. He's being drafted as an elite option at closer, when he should be looked at as a potential disaster.
I wouldn't be surprised to see a 3.50+ ERA or perhaps a loss of his job altogether. Unless, of course, we're not privvvy to what may be really going on here.......

He's changed mechanically, and for the worse. No idea why anyone would mess with success but his front foot is doing a double or triple tap before pitches now when he had no such thing last season.
I was fine with normal regression in 2013 of pitch outcomes but this BS with his mechanics needs to be corrected, asap. Peralta is the only reliever anyone trusts right now.
