Pedro Baez’s Changeup – Baez used to be constantly ridiculed by the Dodger fanbase, but he has played an integral role in the success of this 2018 team for the past few months. The development of his changeup, as seen here to Rafael Devers, has been a huge contributor to his newfound success.

Nathan Eovaldi’s Fastball – Remember when Nathan Eovaldi was traded by the Dodgers for Hanley Ramirez? Cause I do. Set-up man Eovaldi has been a good Eovaldi.
