My Take
Héctor Neris is the kind of reliever I always enjoyed watching pitch high-leverage innings. This Dominican right-hander out of Villa Altagracia built a real Major League Baseball career on the back of a devastating splitter, bouncing through the Phillies, Astros, Cubs, Braves and Angels. Signing as an international free agent in 2010 and debuting in 2014, he carved out the kind of bullpen longevity that's genuinely hard to sustain. I respect relievers who can stomach the pressure of the late innings night after night, and Neris did exactly that for years. His journey from a small Dominican town to multiple big-league bullpens is the sort of grind I always root for.
