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

Rodriguez had 69 save opportunities – the most all time. Mike Scioscia almost refused to use Rodriguez unless it was a save opportunity as he only had seven appearances in non-save situations all season.

And when he was called upon, Rodriguez was very good. The right-hander had a 2.24 ERA on the season, finishing third in AL Cy Young voting and sixth in AL MVP voting.

Unfortunately, that success didn’t carry into the postseason, when Rodriguez took a loss in his first appearance that year. He gave up two runs in 1.1 innings pitched in a Game 2 ALDS loss to the Boston Red Sox.
