Cleveland's closer, Emmanuel Clase, just notched career save #150. His ERA this season is 0.58; his career is 1.71.
I know relievers have freak outlier seasons all the time, but this guy has been unhittable the last few years. He's probably the most underrated player in baseball right now. Definitely the top closer. He'll probably even earn a few Cy Young votes.
Obviously, he still needs another ten years of peak performance, and anyone watching the Mets and Edwin Diaz knows that nothing is guaranteed. Some young stars go on to be Mariano Rivera. Most of the others become Ramon Rivera... Still, Emmanuel Clase seems to be on the right trajectory.

Needs about 330 more saves… and the ability to go back in time and never take PEDs.
