The Best Lefthanded Batters and Lefthanded Pitchers in Baseball

Career Saves among Active Lefthanded Relief Pitchers

Aroldis Chapman of the Pirates remains at the top of the list of current best lefthanded relievers based on his dominance over the first ten years in the league. While he is no longer a closer, he is still a valuable bullpen specialist and so far this season has 56 strikeouts in 34 innings pitched.

Josh Hader of the Astros has 18 saves at the all-star break in 2024, and has surpassed 30 saves in four of the past five seasons.

Will Smith of the Royals is the only other lefthanded reliever with more than 100 career saves. This season he has only one save but has been an effective bullpen piece for the Royals.
