Performance in non-save situations

By Tangotiger, 09:13 AM

Geoff gives us the lowdown on one of our generations best relievers. I responded at ballhype:

B-r.com now has splits by save and non-save situations:
http://www.baseball-reference.com/pi/psplit.cgi?n1=hoffmtr01&year=0&lg=&team=#outco-outco
Three things jumped out:
1. lots of IBB in non-save situations
2. much higher BABIP in non-save situations
3. alot more multi-inning games in non-save situations
