Jose Alvarado had an inconsistent 2024 season, as he was at times dominant, but wildness and unpredictability eventually cost him his role in the back-end of the bullpen.  Alvarado led the team with 13 saves, but his last save opportunity came on July 19th before manager Rob Thomson all but stopped using him in high leverage situations.  Alvarado also missed about a week in August for personal reasons.  His 2024 season ended on a low note too, as he was one of the pitchers hit hard in the NLDS Game 3 loss to the Mets.  Overall, Alvarado was 2-5 with a 4.09 ERA in 66 relief appearances - second on the club behind Jeff Hoffman, who had 68.
