It has been a very special year for Cleveland Guardians star Emmanuel Clase, who is working to join some elite baseball history with his dominance at the back end of the bullpen.
The Cleveland Guardians are one of the biggest surprises in all of baseball. At 72-49, they lead the American League Central by 4.0 games and are currently positioned to earn the No. 1 seed in the American League playoffs.
All this after finishing in third place in the American League Central a year ago and losing Hall of Fame manager Terry Francona to retirement. One of the biggest reasons why the Guardians have been able to be so good is because of the dominance of closer Emmanuel Clase. An All-Star again this season, Clase is putting himself in Cy Young consideration with his performance at the back end of games, which is a huge luxury for manager Stephen Vogt.
Clase has gone 4-2 this season with a microscopic 0.64 ERA. He's struck out 49 batters in 56.1 innings pitched and has a whopping 37 saves, which leads all of baseball. He also led baseball in saves each of the last two seasons and is on track to join some very rare baseball history.Emmanuel Clase could join the trio of pitchers to have a season with 40+ saves and an ERA under 0.75:Emmanuel Clase could join the trio of pitchers to have a season with 40+ saves and an ERA under 0.
