Instead, he had to have the tying run on-deck, which wasn't the case.","date":"Mon May 14"},"fullName":"Jonny Venters","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"If you're making a list of most lethal pitches in baseball, perhaps Venters' slider would top said list: During his two big league seasons combined his slider has earned him a No. 1 ranking in batting average allowed (.054), OPS allowed (.152), strikeout rate (74.7 percent) and swing-and-miss rate (69.3 percent). When a pitcher's pitch is that lethal, it's difficult to bet against him, but keep in mind how taxing sliders specifically are on a pitcher's arm, not to mention the worry that Venters' major league-leading 164 appearances during that span could eventually make him a health risk. Venters' 5.11 ERA in September hinted at that, though the winter's rest might be all he needs to put forth one more year as one of the game's most effective setup men. If you're in the hunt for holds, this is your guy.","seasonId":2012,"date":"Fri Feb 10"},"playerRater30DAY":-3.2,"playerRater15DAY":-3.2,"positionRank":132}
