Dodgers pitcher named top rookie reliever by Baseball Digest

"Los Angeles Dodgers left-handed pitcher Jack Dreyer earned a spot on Baseball Digest's Rookie All-Star Team as the team's sole relief pitcher."

"Dreyer made his debut for the Dodgers in 2025, playing 67 games throughout the season. The reliever had a 2.95 ERA through 76.1 innings pitched, and struck out a total of 74 batters during his time at the top level."

""Really, an impossible choice, because there are always young relievers with sick stuff who come up and dazzle from their debuts onward," wrote Castrovince. "This season has no shortage. If we put in a limit of at least 40 innings pitched, then the Cardinals' Matt Svanson, White Sox's Mike Vasil, Blue Jays' Braydon Fisher, Padres' David Morgan, Marlins' Cade Gibson, Rays' Ian Seymour and Rockies' Juan Mejia all have strong cases, with adjusted ERA+ marks well above the league average. "The 26-year-old Dreyer, though, is worthy of this particular brand of love because of the large workload (72 1/3 innings) and reliable relief work (1.05 WHIP, 2.86 ERA) he's provided for a first-place Dodgers team that has a behemoth roster but has often been scrambling in the bullpen. Dreyer has a calmness that belies his inexperience.""

Left-handed pitcher Jack Dreyer debuted for the Dodgers in 2025 and appeared in 67 games. He posted a 2.95 ERA through 76.1 innings and recorded 74 strikeouts at the major-league level. His ERA ranked second among Dodgers relievers with more than 20 appearances, behind Edgardo Henriquez. Dreyer received repeated recognition for his rookie performance and was identified among the top relievers to debut in 2025. One evaluation highlighted a large workload, 1.05 WHIP and reliable relief work (2.86 ERA in 72 1/3 innings) and noted a calmness that belied his inexperience. Dreyer also made four postseason appearances, including a 0.2 scoreless inning in the Wild Card round against Cincinnati.
