Kenley Jansen is Unreliable, Dodgers Deadly Defects...

Kenley Jansen

The Washington Post, a U.S. media outlet, cited a fatal flaw in all teams that advanced to the Major League playoffs on Wednesday. The media said, "Teams advancing to the playoffs showed their strengths until they reached October. But their fatal flaw may end the World Series challenge. It's time to expose their weaknesses," he said, pointing out one by one for each team.

The Los Angeles Dodgers' final pitcher was picked for a fatal flaw. Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen has pitched in 62 games this year with five wins, three losses and 33 saves with a 3.71 ERA. It is his highest ERA since his Major League debut. He also has eight Blon saves, the most in a season.

The Washington Post cited the Dodgers' fatal flaw as "virtually Janson," saying, "It's unbelievable. His 2019 performance was the most frustrating. He had the worst performance with a 3.71 ERA for the closing pitcher and 2.3 walks per nine innings," he said.

"His strikeout rate has rebounded a bit compared to last year, but it's worrisome to see how much he has fallen from his peak," he said. According to a graph released by the media, Jansen had a strikeout rate of 42 percent in 2017. However, it recorded 30 percent this year, marking a 12 percentage point drop.

Like the Dodgers, the media brought up the story of the closing pitcher due to a fatal flaw in the Houston Astros. They said, "Hueston is the best batting team. have a solid mound It was hard to find the flaw, but closer Roberto Osuna was shaken from time to time," he explained.

The New York Yankees and the Milwaukee Brewers fault cited starting rotation, while the Atlanta Braves said they "depend on luck." The Minnesota Twins and the Oakland Athletics' defects mentioned that they were heavily dependent on home runs, while the Tampa Bay Rays and the St. Louis Cardinals saw the hit as a flaw. The bullpen was mentioned as a fatal flaw in the Washington Nationals.
