Archie Bradley, Yoshihisa Hirano, and Brad Boxberger form a pretty high-end trio of closers for Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo to mix and match in game-saving scenarios. Albeit each not without risk.
To fill a void created by departing closer Fernando Rodney, the D-backs acquired two right-handed pitchers with closing experience in Hirano and Boxberger. However, it’s most likely that Arizona’s best option to take on the closer role was on their roster all along.
Archie Bradley is on the verge of stepping into his destiny as one of the game’s premiere finishers. He should probably be handed the keys to Closer Kingdom right now, except for the fact that his manager refuses to anoint him Save Savior just yet.
