The Twins relied heavily on two first-year relievers during the 2022 season. Jhoan Durán and Griffin Jax both found themselves in extremely high-leverage situations and often answered the call. For Jax, his season was the complete opposite of 2021, when he posted a 6.37 ERA in his first 82 innings as a Major League pitcher. The Twins decided his role would be in the bullpen and Jax excelled, cutting his ERA in half and boosting his velocity, strikeout rates and swing-and-miss. Is there another gear for Jax in 2023 and beyond? I think yes! Here's why.
