Roberto Osuna is back in the ninth inning.
Toronto Blue Jays manager John Gibbons made it official early this morning in Dunedin, announcing Osuna as the team’s closer after a spring training battle with Drew Storen, who arrived this offseason in a deal for Ben Revere
Osuna cracked the Blue Jays 2015 roster out of spring training as a 20-year-old, significantly ahead of his expected arrival.
In 69.2 innings pitched over 68 appearances, Osuna recorded a 2.58 ERA with 9.7 strikeouts per nine innings. He also racked up 20 saves after taking over the closer’s role from Miguel Castro and Brett Cecil earlier in the season.
