Managing a bullpen has become a science with the rise of analytics. Do you think managers rely too much on data when making pitching decisions? How do you balance stats with gut instincts?

Teams use advanced statistics to match pitchers with specific hitters based on factors like pitch type, batter splits, and game situations. Analytics help determine the best usage patterns for relievers, whether it's identifying when a pitcher should be rested or when to deploy a lefty or righty specialist.
