Sam Dyson

It’s hard to pitch better than Sam Dyson did in this tournament. The red-bearded closer used his nasty 95+ MPH sinker to help anchor one of the best bullpens in the entire tournament.

Dyson appeared in five games, which was tied for the most on Team USA. In six innings pitched, Dyson did not allow a single base runner and struck out four batters.

Dyson put his nasty stuff on display for the world to see during this tournament. Heading into the 2017 season as the closer, Dyson will be tasked with anchoring one of the most overlooked bullpens in all of baseball.

A+. 6.0 IP 0.00 ERA 0 H 4 SO. RP. USA. SAM DYSON
