His significant performance solidifies his role as a key piece in the Dodgers bullpen alongside fellow lefty relievers.
"Arb is kind of weird. There's certain numbers and things and whatnot, but at the end of the day, I know where I'm valued and I also know where the Dodgers value me too. Thankfully we were able to come to an agreement where both parties feel very confident with it."
"Regardless, I'm going out there and giving it my all, man. I love the game of baseball. It's been great. Glad that it's over, and now the focus is Spring Training."
"Vesia posted a 1.76 ERA and 0.99 WHIP to go along with 87 strikeouts over 66.1 innings."
"Vesia was a top-10 relief pitcher in baseball...His .144 batting average allowed was third-best in MLB, and his 1.76 ERA ranked seventh-best."
