Danny Young's successful postseason debut against top hitters like Ohtani, Betts, and Freeman may reinvigorate his role in Carlos Mendoza's bullpen despite low-stakes situation.
While Ryne Stanek has proven reliable with postseason experience and effectively keeping runs down, the question remains whether Young can gain trust for critical situations.
Mendoza’s usage of relievers, like Phil Maton in back-to-back games, raises concerns of burnout that can affect performance, as Maton’s recent outings illustrate.
There's speculation about whether Young's fresh arm can ease the workload on pitchers like David Peterson, who could be overused like Maton has been.
