In a challenging 2025 MLB season, the Chicago White Sox, Rockies, and Marlins are struggling significantly, achieving only 13 saves with a combined 42 wins. Starting with Baltimore, which has a dedicated closer in Felix Bautista, teams like Miami and Pittsburgh face fluctuating performances from their bullpen pitchers. Calvin Faucher and Jesus Tinoco demonstrate the inherent volatility of the closer role while Jordan Leasure recently shined by successfully converting a save opportunity for the White Sox, revealing potential amidst the team's broader struggles.
“Chasing saves on the White Sox, Rockies, and Marlins has been a tall task in 2025, with these teams combining for 42 wins and only 13 saves.”
“Calvin Faucher was trending after tossing 11.2 shutout innings, but the Cubs drilled him for six runs while failing to record an out.”
“Seth Halvorsen picked up a save on May 17th looking sharp, but was later beaten by the Phillies, showing the volatility of closers.”
“With the Rockies having eight wins over 48 games, saves in this bullpen tend to come with more risk than reward, indicating poor team performance.”
