Unveiling MLB’s Ultimate Closer: The Untold Stories Behind the Most Saves in History
His ERA was a minuscule 1.20, and his FIP of 0.81 is the best for a season (minimum 50 innings pitched). There’s a reason he was the last reliever to win a Cy Young.
T-4. 55 – John Smoltz, Atlanta Braves (2002)
Smoltz set the National League saves record in 2002, which was only his second year as a reliever. Gagne would tie it the following season, and no one in the NL has been able to match that number since.
The former starter would go on to have an even better season by ERA in 2004, dropping from 3.25 to 1.12 despite only finishing with 45 saves that year. Another 44 saves in 2005 cemented Smoltz’s legacy as one of the best pitchers of all time who pitched regularly as both a starter and reliever in his career.
