Earlier this week Andy Bunker and Nick Kayal (in for Randy McMichael) were asked by Midday Show Producer Brian Gebhardt about who will lead the Atlanta Braves bullpen in holds this year. There has been a lot of conversation about who will wind up being the closer for the Braves in the 2022 season after the signing of longtime Dodgers reliever, Kenley Jansen, but who winds up settling in as the main 8th inning guy this season?
Bunker and Kayal both mention Tyler Matzek after his incredible postseason run last season and offer some other options as well.
No matter who winds up being the setup man and closer the Braves will have plenty of options to choose from as they look to defend their World Series title even with Luke Jackson starting the season on the IL.
