The Colorado Rockies announced today that they have signed left-handed relief pitcher Mike Dunn.
Dunn has spent the last six years with the Miami Marlins. The 31-year-old southpaw is coming off a 6-1 season out of the pen, yielding 16 runs on 43 hits over 42.1 innings pitched. Dunn finished with a FIP of 3.88 which is pretty average, and finished with a WHIP of 1.27 — also average.
Over his career, Dunn is a combined 28-25, accumulating a 3.40 ERA while posting average FIP and WHIP numbers. The only concerning factor about the potential of signing Dunn is that his strikeout numbers have declined. Over his career, Dunn averaged roughly 10.0 K/9, posting a 10.6 K/9 in 2014 and 10.8 K/9 in 2015.
He signed for three years, $19 million with a club option for a fourth year at $6 million. Dunn figures to be a fixture near the back-end of the Rockies bullpen alongside Adam Ottavino, Jake McGee, and Carlos Estevez.
