1. 652 – Mariano Rivera
The best closer ever has the most saves ever. Makes sense.
Rivera only led the league in saves three times, but he was consistently excellent for the Yankees. He had nine seasons of 40 or more saves, and, after being named the Yankees closer prior to the 1997 season, failed to reach 30 saves only twice in the final 17 years of his career (both due to injury).
