Josh Hader is one of the most un-hittable relievers in baseball.
All this 25-year-old Milwaukee Brewers closer needs to keep up his 2.25 ERA and .73 WHIP is a disappearing fastball with a wipe-away slider. Hader is so dominant that even his mistakes befuddle some of the game’s best hitters — he often throws that fastball down the pike and goes unscathed.
Matt Chapman didn’t have to feast on a mistake; in Tuesday’s game, he saw seven Hader pitches before striking out swinging at a fastball. Matt Olson would take care of the walk-off the very next at-bat.
