the relief pitcher
in 2017, maeda began the season in the starting rotation but struggled in april and may, with a 5.16 era causing him to be taken out of the rotation and tried in relief. he pitched three innings out of the pen on june 9th to pick up his first career save. on june 18th he was back in the rotation and allowed only one run on three hits in five innings but he returned to the bullpen after that game because the dodgers had too many starting pitchers on the roster. however, he only appeared in one game in relief before returning to the starting rotation and from june 18th through august 25th, he had went 8–2 with a 2.70 era as a starter. at the end of the season, the dodgers moved maeda back into the bullpen in order to try him in that role for possible use in the playoffs. overall during the regular season he appeared in 29 games with 25 starts and had a record of 13–6 with a 4.22 era. he did make the post-season roster as a relief pitcher. he pitched two scoreless innings with four strikeouts in the 2017 nlds and three scoreless innings in the 2017 nlcs. in the 2017 world series, which the dodgers lost in seven games, maeda pitched 5 innings over four games and allowed one run on four hits. right handed batters had just four hits in 32 at-bats against him in the post-season.
