Late in March, the Braves signed Kenley Jansen to beef up their bullpen. In 2021, he had a rebound in his game, leading to his best ERA (2.22) and strikeouts (86) since 2017 despite having the worst command (4.7 walks per nine) of his career. In addition, he converted 38 of his 43 saves, pushing his career total to 350 saves. Atlanta should give Jansen the most saves chances, but Will Smith will still get matchup opportunities. Last year he finished with a career-high in saves (37). Over the past three seasons, home runs (28 over 149.1 innings) have been a problem for Smith.
