Kevin Siegrist

Yet again, Siegrist proved to be a tremendous asset in the Cardinals' bullpen. His usage went down to 67 games (61.2 innings) from 2015's outrageous showing of 81 games (74.2 innings). He was just as efficient and notched a 26.6 percent strikeout rate and continued to show reverse splits. However, for the second straight year, he decreased his opponents' batting average against lefties, as they hit .221 with Siegrist on the mound, down from .278 in 2015. He continued his dominance of righties (.178/.265/.367 line against). Unfortunately for Siegrist, not every aspect of his game trended in the right direction. Although command has never been his strength, his lack of accuracy finally caught up to him and resulted in 10 home runs, giving him a 1.46 HR/9. He also blew more saves (five) than he converted (three). Despite these blemishes, Siegrist will resume his job in the late innings, which should result in upwards of 15 holds for the third year in a row.
