Unveiling MLB’s Ultimate Closer: The Untold Stories Behind the Most Saves in History

Unveiling MLB’s Ultimate Closer: The Untold Stories Behind the Most Saves in History

T-1. 7 John Wetteland, New York Yankees (1996)

1. 42 – Mariano Rivera

Rivera’s postseason save record is going to be tough to beat. He’s amassed over double the saves of anyone else in the playoffs, a product of playing on a Yankees team that played deep into October most years.

He was World Series MVP in 1999 and ALCS MVP in 2003. Most of his postseason stats look like a misprint. His postseason ERA is an unfathomable 0.70. And in 96.0 innings, he allowed two postseason home runs. Sandy Alomar and Jay Payton deserve a medal for hitting those home runs.
