Dodgers Rumors – Mark J. Rebilas-USA TODAY Sports /

Kenley Jansen – 95

Jansen ranks as the highest rated closer in the game, and on The Show. The Dodgers showed their confidence in the burly reliever by extending him to an $80 million, five-year deal after last season’s postseason dominance.

Jansen has saved 189 games in 214 opportunities with the Dodgers. He is only 28 years old, with a cut fastball that earns him comparisons to Mariano Rivera. Jansen’s career 2.20 ERA is overshadowed only by his lifetime 0.89 WHIP, numbers that underly his ability. Last season was arguably his best, as he held hitters to a 0.67 WHIP while striking out 104 batters in only 68 2/3 innings.

The Curacao native will be saving games in Dodger Stadium for at least the next half decade, and he will likely continue his reign as the top closer in The Show for at least that long.
