Tyler Clippard – Rubber arm indeed

September 1, 2014

Vin Scully was mentioning on the broadcast tonight about Tyler Clippard having a rubber arm so I thought I’d check to see what his game count was compared to his peers during the last five years. Not to shabby, he’s second in games appeared, and 1st in ERA+ for those who have pitched at least 350 games since 2010.
