The Milwaukee Brewers' greatest strength, if you had to narrow it down to one thing, was their closer, Josh Hader. The left-hander struck out 48% of the batters he faced this year, the fourth-highest rate in history. He had the lowest contact rate in baseball and the sixth-highest strike rate. He had 15 saves of more than one inning this year, the most by any pitcher in the past 15 years. He entered 52 games with a lead this year and the Brewers won 48 of them. This month he was named the National League's best reliever.
