For a second consecutive year, Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen was not included on MLB Network’s The Shredder’s list of top 10 relief pitchers.
San Diego Padres closer Kirby Yates claimed the top spot in the rankings for the 2020 season, after a spectacular campaign that saw him post a minuscule 1.19 ERA in 60 appearances last year.
The rest of the list, in order, consists of the New York Yankees’ Aroldis Chapman, the Milwaukee Brewers’ Josh Hader, the Oakland Athletics’ Liam Hendriks, the Houston Astros’ Ryan Pressly, the Boston Red Sox’s Brandon Workman, the New York Mets’ Seth Lugo, the Yankees’ Adam Ottavino, the Minnesota Twins’ Taylor Rogers and the Atlanta Braves’ Will Smith.
