9/17/24 Guardians closer Emmaneul Clase breaking bats, records, making strong case to win AL Cy Young.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Emmanuel Clase is breaking bats and records at an almost equal rate.

He's become baseball's grim reaper, the cream of the closer crop. Cleveland's right-hander with a devilish cut fastball not seen since Hall of Famer Mariano Rivera's dominant days with the New York Yankees is having a season to remember.

Maybe one that includes winning the Cy Young, a rarity for relievers.

On Monday night, Clase earned his MLB-leading 46th save — his 33rd straight since May 20 to tie José Mesa's single-season team record — as the Guardians inched closer to an unexpected AL Central title by rallying for a 4-3 win over the Minnesota Twins.

The game followed a familiar script: another Cleveland comeback (the club's 40th), followed by Clase.

Progressive Field may be the only place in the majors where if the bullpen door in right field swings open in the ninth inning, it's game over.

It's been that way was all season.

Guardians second baseman Andrés Giménez knows the drill. Once he hears Clase's entrance song blaring through the ballpark's sound system and sees his teammate jogging across the outfield grass with his braided, colored hair bouncing out of the back of his cap, there's only one thing left to do.

"I feel like I’m going to go home early,” Giménez said. “Honestly, it’s been absolutely incredible this year, and in the last three years. It’s just unbelievable, saving 40 games each season. It’s crazy. It’s special.”

Crazy. Special. Unfathomable. Unhittable.

Clase is posting statistics that almost seem imaginary. He's allowed just five earned runs in 69 1/3 innings, a 0.65 ERA that along with his conversion percentage on saves (94%) has put Clase firmly in the conversation for AL Cy Young consideration.

His advanced...

9/12/24 Emmanuel Clase Within Striking Distance of Another Guardians Record. The single-season saves record in Cleveland baseball history is held by Jose Mesa with 46 in the 1995 season. With 16 games remaining, Cleveland Guardians closing pitcher Emmanuel Clase is just two saves away from tying the record. Only six Cleveland pitchers have found themselves in the 40-save club. The current Guardians closer proves his sustained dominance by reaching the milestone for a third consecutive season.

8/31/24 'Cy Clase'? Why the Cleveland Guardians' relief ace is capable of winning baseball's highest pitching honor. He hasn't even played four full years with the team, but Emmanuel Clase might already be the greatest relief pitcher in Cleveland baseball history. First arriving with the then Indians as the crown jewel of the trade that sent franchise legend Corey Kluber to Texas, his Cleveland tenure got off to a rocky start as his entire 2020 campaign was wiped out by a positive test for steroids. Trust would be hard to earn back, but in 2021 at the age of just 23, the right-hander took hold of the team's closer role with 24 saves and a microscopic 1.29 ERA, all while showcasing the 100-mph cutter that has become his signature weapon. Fast-forward to the present day — there's been a team name change to the Guardians, and Clase, with three All-Star Game appearances, has firmly entrenched himself as the best reliever in the game today.

8/23/24 Cleveland Guardians Would Be Massively Affected By This MLB Rule Change. The Cleveland Guardians have built one of the best records in baseball this season in spite of a horrendous starting pitching staff that ranks among the worst in baseball. The Guardians' bullpen has been their saving grace, with Emmanuel Clase having a historically great campaign for a closer and the rest of the Cleveland's relievers providing him with ample support. ESPN's Jesse Rogers recently reported that the MLB is considering a rule change that would force starting pitchers to throw at least six innings before being removed from a game.

8/17/24 MLB Opinion: Why Guardians' Emmanuel Clase Is A Legit Cy Young Candidate. The Cy Young Award is always given to the best pitcher in each league at the end of the season. It's not often that a reliever is given the Cy Young award. The last time it happened in the American League was in 1992 when Oakland Athletics' Dennis Eckersley won it. Let's first take a look at Clase's stats to see just how dominant of a season he's currently having.

8/13/24 Emmanuel Clase Being Compared To This Hall Of Fame Closer, Cleveland Guardians News. Emmanuel Clase continues to put together a historic season as the Cleveland Guardians' closer. In fact, Clase's career numbers through his first four seasons are eerily similar to those of Mariano Rivera, one of the best closers in MLB history. Clase, on the other hand, has 146 saves, a 1.70 ERA, and an 8.8 through his first three and a half big league seasons. This season in particular has helped put Clase's overall numbers as he currently he has the most saves in the American League with 36 and his 0.65 ERA.
