Back before the 2025 season, I wrote an article that the 2025 bullpen could look a bit different than the bullpen of the three most recent Braves seasons. Basically, that article had a table that indicated: Braves' bullpen preseason projected rank was top four or better from 2022-2024, top eight the two seasons before that, and then dropping to ninth ahead of 2025; Braves' bullpen finished in the top ten in fWAR each year from 2020-2024;
Right now, if you go to FanGraphs and sort by position player fWAR with 200 or more PAs, you get a list that maybe isn't that surprising. Or, rather, the placement of some guys might be surprising, but anyway... Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Shohei Ohtani - those guys are phenomenal but they were better last year. Cal Raleigh is having a legendary season but has been an All-Star-plus quality guy for years now.
