Comparing Dellin's 2014 Season to Rivera's 1996 Season


Many all season long have compared Dellin Betances first full season in the majors to Mariano Rivera's first full season in the majors. With the season over we can truly get a look at the final products for both players and see how they compare.

IP  K SV ER HR ERA+ FIP WHIP WAR ERA 
90 135 1 14 4 277 1.64 0.778 3.7 1.4
107.2 130 5 25 1 240 1.88 0.994 5 2.09

The top line is the season of Dellin Betances and the bottom line was Mariano Rivera's 1996 season. I took the liberty of bolding the "better" stat from each player for their respected seasons. As you can see I think the Yankees found a gold mine at the back end of their bullpen for a long, long time.
