The Dodgers have been blessed with some excellent relief aces over the last decade and a half, with Kenley Jansen adding another notch to his belt in 2015 as he builds his case for being the best one of them all.
What went right
The Dodgers closer had another typically excellent season in 2015, with a 2.41 ERA and 2.14 FIP right in line with his career marks of 2.28 and 2.02, respectively. But in many ways, Jansen was more efficient in 2015.
He struck out 80 of his 200 batters faced, a 40-percent strikeout rate that ranks third in Dodgers franchise history among pitchers with at least 30 innings, behind only Eric Gagne's 44.
