Josh Hader Picks Up 13th Save

San Diego Padres left-handed pitcher Josh Hader notched his 13th save of the season on Thursday, securing an 8-6 victory over the Washington Nationals. Hader didn't allow a baserunner and struck out two in his inning of work. This continues what has been a dominant season for Hader in which he has a 0.86 ERA, 0.76 WHIP, and 29 strikeouts over 21 IP. He has also converted 12 of his 14 save chances. The lanky lefty is on track to reclaim his spot as the best closer in the game, and may have done so already.

Josh Hader Records Save No. 12 Tuesday

San Diego Padres lefty Josh Hader earned his 12th save of the season Tuesday when his club defeated the Washington Nationals 7-4. The 29-year-old went one inning, allowing no runs on one hit while striking out a batter. Hader's been lights out for the Padres this year, sporting a 0.90 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, and 35.5% strikeout rate, and his save total puts him third in the league. It seems like the former 19th-rounder has put a shaky 2022 campaign behind him and is once again a top reliever in all of baseball, contributing to all four categories.
