Hendriks posted his second lights out season in a row last year, recording an ERA of 1.78 with 14 saves in 24 appearances. It was a similar showing to his numbers from two seasons ago where he posted a 1.80 ERA with a whopping 124 strikeouts in 85.0 innings.

It’s a far cry from the first seven seasons of his career, where he pitched to a 4.72 ERA in 245 appearances.

A native of Perth, Austraila, Hendriks also spent time with the Blue Jays, Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins during his big league career.
