It takes a certain pedigree to pitch as a big league closer, and Roberto Osuna has had that since day one. For the now 23 year old, that started at the ripe old age of 20 when he saved 20 games for the playoff bound Jays of 2015 and posted a 2.58 ERA as a rookie.
He’s had his ups and downs as any big leaguer might, but the Mexican fireballer has been a real gem for the Blue Jays, entering Tuesday’s game with a career 2.79 ERA and 99 saves.
If you were watching the game last night or checking out the highlights reel today, you’ll know that Osuna picked up save number 100 of his career, becoming the youngest pitcher to ever achieve the feat.
