Dodgers Release Jesse Hahn

By Darragh McDonald | August 30, 2024 at 3:50pm CDT

Right-hander Jesse Hahn has been released by Triple-A Oklahoma City, according to his transactions tracker at MLB.com. He had been pitching for that club after signing a minor league deal with the Dodgers in the offseason.

Hahn, now 35, had his 2021 season ended by a shoulder injury and then didn’t pitch in any official capacity in the following two years. With OKC here in 2024, he tossed 41 2/3 innings over 35 appearances, allowing 4.54 earned runs per nine. His 24.2% strikeout rate and 58% ground ball rate were both strong, but his 18.1% walk rate was abysmal. For reference, the major league average in 2024 is currently 8.2%.

It’s perhaps not surprising that Hahn has had some rust after such a long layoff, but it was also a trend prior to his absence. With the Royals from 2019 to 2021, he tossed 25 1/3 innings with a 26.1% strikeout rate but a 16.2% walk rate.

Hahn will now head to the open market and see if any club is interested in his services, presumably one that has a plan for reining in that control somehow. In 311 1/3 career innings from 2014 to 2021, he posted a 4.22 ERA with an 18% strikeout rate, 9% walk rate and 49.5% ground ball rate.

      “Obscene Dodgers spenders”…Have you seen the daily, overflow, standing room only crowds at Chavez Ravine?…Spending is only “obscene” when a team’s revenues cannot support it and it’s literally unsustainable. When a team like the Dodgers routinely packs in 130,000+ fans(plus a billion dollar tv deal) for a 3 day weekend series, it makes good business(and baseball)sense to reinvest large amounts back into the core product.

        I was there last night. Full house once again. They are making money handover fist. The reason why? They put out a good product.

    No real world series title since 1988 and they won’t win this year either and they *will lose* whatever playoff game they put Chokeshaw on the mound.

      Man, that 2020 title was so fun, such a great memory. Wonderful championship to cap off a string of success that group of guys had.

      But then some guy on the internet said it didn’t count, so nevermind.

    Curious , did Hahn ever throw to Alley Kirk as part of a Bluejay battery, if so could you imagine the reaction if Hahn messed up a sign and threw a pitch that sailed over the backstop?
