But acquiring former All-Star reliever Jeff Hoffman from the Blue Jays was on a different level. Among all qualified major league pitchers this season, his whiff rate, chase rate and strikeout rate all rank in the 98th percentile or better. Across 49 innings this season, Hoffman owned a 3.86 ERA and a 1.35 WHIP with Toronto. Hoffman posted a 6.00 ERA in August before completely flipping the script with a dominant 0.84 ERA over the final month of the season. Across his last 23 1/3 innings, Hoffman has allowed just three earned runs.
