Looks like a really good pickup. Based on his stats the last two years...

he should be our highest leverage LHP bullpen reliever. In the last two years against Top 75 offenses (per Massey Ratings), he has pitched to a 3.00 era, 1.25 whip and 2.00 so-bb ratio across 24.0 innings which is the best performance against this group of offenses amongst our incoming transfer pitchers (even better than Daniel Powell who has a 4.03 era, 1.34 whip, 16.9 so-bb in 29.0 innings against the same grouping of offenses looking at the last two years). To your point, both he and Powell should be anchors in our bullpen to help close out games. One thing is clear in this portal cycle, Willey is looking to put his stamp on the pitching staff personnel. Last year, I was a little surprised he only brought in 3 pitchers (Weber, Roe, Smith) so the 2026 staff was predominantly personnel that Fectau had brought in. With the planned turnover, it looks like we could have double-digit pitchers next year that were recruited by Willey.
