4 years agoLos Angeles Dodgers right-handed pitcher Kenley Jansen has posted across the board an elite Statcast season in 2020, leading all qualified pitchers in average exit velocity (82 MPH), Hard Hit % (10.5), xBA (.152), and xSLG (.264). After a heart ailment sidetracked his 2019 campaign, Jansen has thundered back into the conversation as the best closer of his generation, delivering the traditional stats to further that case (10 saves, 12.3 K/9). With many teams around the league fluctuating between multiple arms to record saves, Jansen remains a steady -- and top tier -- back end arm, who is buoyed by the club’s thundering offense and steady starting staff.--Jesse Borek
