Rockies' Gonzalez Germen: Excelling with heavier usage this season

Germen holds a 1.88 ERA and 1.19 WHIP in 14.1 innings out of the Colorado bullpen this season.

Out of all the arms in the Rockies bullpen, Germen has been one of the most pleasant surprises, as he hadn't held an ERA below 3.93 in his big league career until now. His 12:7 K:BB ratio leaves something to be desired, but his 93.3 percent strand rate greatly makes up for that blemish. This success is hardly sustainable considering his low strikeout rate and the abnormally low .220 BABIP he's holding opposing hitters to, but the 28-year-old could garner a bit more usage out of the bullpen if he can continue to get batters out like he has been doing.
