The Shocking Truth Behind the Dodgers’ 2025 World Series Hopes—And Why They Could Crumble Before it Starts

It’s not quite that simple, though. Andrew Friedman, the Dodgers’ president of baseball operations, has long favored pitchers with elite per-inning numbers who might be more transactionally available because they are less frequently physically available.

Incorporating only MLB seasons, Snell is the staff workhorse in averaging 137.1 innings. From some quick back-of-the-napkin math, if they all pitched to their three-year average innings totals, they would rack up 756.2 innings – besting exactly one team’s starter total from the 2024 season (the “pitching chaos” Detroit Tigers).
