San Francisco Giants closer Will Smith is off to a great start to the 2019 season.
The 29-year-old has converted all seven of his save chances with a 3.09 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 12 appearances. He picked up a save and a win in the team’s most recent series against the rival Los Angeles Dodgers.
So where does Smith rank among the best relievers in recent years?
There have been some really good ones in the past 25 years, and the team has consistently relied on a solid bullpen as a catalyst for success.
