Ryan Zeferjahn Earns Save for Angels, Emerging as Potential Ninth-Inning Option?
Los Angeles Angels right-hander Ryan Zeferjahn notched his first save of the season during a four-out appearance on Tuesday, striking out three batters to limit the damage of two walks and one hit batter. After struggling in April, Zeferjahn appears to be trending positively in May with 3 1/3 scoreless innings tossed so far. This recent success lowered his season ERA to 4.58 and his WHIP to 1.12, and he has now recorded 25 strikeouts in 19 2/3 innings. His expected numbers sit much lower than his actual results, signaling he may be facing some bad luck. His expected batting average of .148 sits in the 99th percentile. If these underlying metrics prove true as he continues to find consistency, he can expect more save opportunities for the Angels.
