Texas Rangers: Is Jose Leclerc the Closer of the Future?

Although the Texas Rangers haven’t had a stellar year, most notably the pitching staff, one pitcher in particular has been practically unhittable. Jose Leclerc came into 2018 as a middle reliever, who did well during his cup-of-coffee tryout in 2016, posting a 1.80 ERA in 12 appearances spread out between July and September. In 2017, however, Leclerc slightly struggled, putting up an ERA of 3.94. The 2018 season has been his breakout year, and it seems as if no one outside of the Rangers fanbase has taken notice to it. Is he the Rangers’ closer of the future?
