"Kenley Jansen signed with the Dodgers as an international free agent out of Curacao in 2004. Originally a catcher, he made the conversion to relief pitcher under the tutelage of former Dodgers pitcher Charlie Hough. Jansen made his MLB debut on July 24, 2010, and immediately became a key member of the Dodgers bullpen. He finished the year allowing only two runs over 27 innings of work, good for a minuscule 0.67 ERA."
"From 2011-2015, Jansen was one of the most underrated relief pitchers in baseball as he posted a 2.42 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 14 strikeouts per nine with 138 saves across 313 innings. Jansen was finally recognized with his first All-Star selection in 2016. That was also the year in which he passed Eric Gagné as the Dodgers' all-time saves leader."
"Jansen made two more All-Star appearances in 2017-2018 before struggling with some inconsistencies over the next two seasons. Jansen bounced back with a strong 2021 season, which was his final in L.A. He pitched to a 2.22 ERA, 3.08 FIP and 1.04 WHIP with 38 saves that year."
