Heaney was given repeated chances in the Yankees rotation last season despite giving up clusters of runs.
The lefty gave up 13 runs in 35 innings in his 12 appearances with the Yankees, recording a 7.32 ERA. Including his stats from his time with the Angels earlier in 2021, Heaney gave up 29 homers in 129.2 innings with a 5.82 ERA.
However, with the Dodgers, the 30-year-old has yet to give up an earned run in the 10 1/3 innings he’s thrown so far in 2022. A small sample size, but more impressive than anything fans witnessed in The Bronx a season ago. Pitching against the Reds Sunday, Heaney’s fastball and newly found slider were instrumental as he struck out 11 in six shutout innings, allowing just one hits and three walks in a 9-1 win.
“I had a good feel for the fastball and the slider, and that’s what we went with for the most part,” Heaney said. “I think confidence has grown with that breaking ball. You don’t want to get too far ahead of yourself, but I’m getting more confident with that, and it’s a good feeling.”Getty Images
