The most left-handed pitching staff in nearly 40 years is set for the playoffs

Heading into the postseason, the Boston Red Sox feature a heavily southpaw pitching staff, utilizing left-handers for nearly sixty percent of their frames this season. This historic reliance on left-handed arms marks the highest volume recorded by any Major League club since the 1988 Reds, with fourteen different lefties logging a minimum of ten innings.

Front office leader Craig Breslow has overseen this dramatic organizational shift since taking over after the 2023 campaign, while the team managed these heavy southpaw workloads despite significant injuries to frontline arms like Garrett Crochet and Connelly Early.
