this year it is Francisco Rodriguez.
For all time, it is Mariano Rivera.

Forget it, it has to be Trevor Hoffman. Not only is he the all-time saves leader, but he was the first to 500 saves. Rivera, Lidge and F-Rod will all be out of the game soon as they throw too many fastballs. This will do too much damage to their arms. Hoffman doesn't rely on fastballs. He is a PITCHER, not a thrower.

All time Mariano Rivera, today still Mariano Rivera, he's amazing unfortunetly for us yankee fans this may be his last year but I don't think so, not till he breaks the saves record which if he stays for a little while longer he'll do

It's Mo Rivera. He's got pretty much 1 pitch and it's all he needs, because he's got pinpoint control, and his poise and confidence puts fear in the batter. Best closer now, and of all time.
What do you think of the pitcher who set the record at 105 mph fast ball,fastest ever recorded on radar?

Is surgery to repair a torn labrum in the throwing shoulder of a pitcher even worth it? I'm 16 years old and could throw lower 70's

Cole Hammels (philly pitcher) pitched a bad game on Saturday. Later he said he pitched the game with a "dead arm", what does this mean?
