Unveiling MLB’s Ultimate Closer: The Untold Stories Behind the Most Saves in History
T-2. 57 – Edwin Diaz, Seattle Mariners (2018)
Diaz didn’t come from nowhere in 2018. After all, he did have 34 saves in 2017. But he did go from solid reliever to the best one in baseball, dropping his ERA from 3.27 to 1.96.
He blew only four saves that season, and he struck out 124 batters while walking only 17. Following the dominant season, Diaz was traded to the New York Mets in a blockbuster trade along with Robinson Canó in exchange for a package that included prospect Jarred Kelenic.
T-2. 57 – Bobby Thigpen, Chicago White Sox (1990)
Thigpen held the saves record down for 28 years before Rodriguez broke it in 2008. His trajectory was similar to that of Diaz, going from a solid reliever (3.76 ERA, 34 saves) in 1989 to a dominant one (1.83 ERA, 57 saves) in 1990.
