MLB OFFSEASON HEATS UP: FANS RANK TOP RELIEF PITCHERS
As we gear up for the MLB spring training, fans have spoken and ranked the best relief pitchers in baseball. According to MLB Network, the top spot goes to Milwaukee Brewers’ Devin Williams. Williams had an outstanding year in 2023, recording 36 saves with an impressive ERA of 1.53. His dominance on the mound, along with 13.3 strikeouts per nine innings, earned him the title of the best reliever in the game.
Coming in second on the list is New York Mets’ Edwin Diaz. Despite missing the entire 2023 season due to injury, Diaz’s talent is undeniable. In 2022, he showcased his skills with 118 strikeouts in 62.0 innings and an impressive ERA of 1.31. Diaz’s return to the field will undoubtedly boost the Mets’ bullpen and their chances of success in the upcoming season.
Interestingly, the list features three Houston Astros pitchers: Bryan Abreu, Josh Hader, and Ryan Pressly. Having three of the top-10 relief pitchers in baseball gives the Astros a significant advantage. With Hader as the favorite for the closer role, the Astros are poised to make another run at the World Series. However, all three pitchers have the ability to finish games when needed, making the Astros’ bullpen a force to be reckoned with.
A strong bullpen is crucial for any successful MLB team, and the names on this list will undoubtedly play a vital role in the upcoming 2024 season. Stay tuned for more updates on the MLB offseason and the exciting developments in the world of baseball.
