Lowest Postseason ERA in a Career (Min. 40 Innings)
1. Mariano Rivera (0.70 ERA from 1995-2011)
When it came to pitching with the game on the line, there was no one better than career ERA leader Mo Rivera. His 42 saves are easily the most in playoff history (Kenley Jansen is second with 20), as are his 96 appearances (Jansen has 59). Perhaps most importantly, the perennial All-Star and Hall of Fame reliever was part of five titles with the Yankees.
