Jansen’s 500 Save Chase | Detroit Tigers News
from Detroit Tigers News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!
Kenley Jansen is just five saves away from joining an elite, historic club—only Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman have ever reached 500. Already third all-time, hitting the milestone would cement his legacy alongside two Hall of Fame closers. But here’s the catch: the Detroit Tigers must win close games in their final 13 contests, needing him to average a save every 2.5 games. Big wins? They’re a double-edged sword—they mean victory, but also fewer save chances. Jansen’s legendary career, built on a devastating cutter and a late-career pivot from catcher to closer, now hinges on timing, health, and luck. At 38, he can’t afford to force it. Every tight game from here on out could be his ticket—or his last chance—to etch his name into baseball’s rarest record books.
