The San Francisco Giants' bullpen was initially strong with the best ERA in May, but their performance fell in June with a 3.95 ERA ranking 11th in MLB. There have been significant changes to bullpen personnel, raising questions about midseason burnout and trust in the pitchers. The rankings of individual relievers reflect deteriorating performance, with notable struggles from Sean Hjelle and Tristan Beck. Joey Lucchesi also demonstrates challenges in high-leverage spots. Changes in pitcher roles and increased usage levels appear to contribute to these trust issues.
Sean Hjelle has seen diminished velocity and worse performance, making him the least trustworthy arm in the bullpen and player on the roster at this point.
Tristan Beck's continued performance issues reflect a season that mirrored Hjelle's earlier challenges, indicating a trend of struggle for both pitchers.
Joey Lucchesi's performance shows he may not be suitable for high-leverage situations, even if his wins above replacement stats suggest otherwise.
