Roberto Osuna's Dominance Deserves More Attention

After a slow start, Blue Jays closer Roberto Osuna has been performing just as well as the game's elite relievers.

With the way MLB pitching staffs are constructed in today's game, a strong bullpen -- and in particular, someone who can lock down the ninth inning -- is a vital piece toward ultimately achieving success. That's partially why we've been so enamored with how dominant Craig Kimbrel has been, while Kenley Jansen is having similar results despite leaning so heavily on one pitch. When we think about the game's top closers, they're likely the first two that come to mind.
