is, undoubtedly, one of the Dodgers’ team leaders. Not many relief pitchers can lay claim to that title, but when you’re as good as he is with the demeanor he exhibits, he has earned it.
Jansen has been nothing short of amazing this season. He has been the 19th-most valuable pitcher in baseball this season. Not reliever, pitcher with his 3.5 wins above replacement. He has the 10th-best single-season fWAR of any reliever since 1990. Former Dodger closer Eric Gagne has the highest WAR in the last 27 years (4.7) in his Cy Young-winning 2003 season.
