These LA Dodgers Might Be Future Hall of Famers

4 of 5

LOS ANGELES, CA – NOVEMBER 01: Kenley Jansen /

The Dodgers actually have three candidates in this category. Kenley Jansen is a two-time All-Star and was named MLB Reliever of the Year in 2016 and 2017. His cut fastball has been compared to that of arguably the greatest cutter ever, that of a pretty good soon-to-be Hall of Fame reliever named Mariano Rivera.

Jansen’s numbers are on pace with those of Rivera, as well as Hall of Famers Dennis Eckersley, Rollie Fingers, Goose Gossage and Bruce Sutter.

Five more seasons like the last couple of years would give Jansen more than 400 saves and vault him into the top five all time.

	Yrs	WAR	ERA	WHIP	Saves
Jansen	8	15.2	2.08	0.87	230
Rivera	19	57.1	2.21	1.00	652
Eckersley*	24	63.0	3.50	1.16	390
Fingers	17	26.1	2.90	1.16	341
Gossage	22	42.0	3.01	1.23	310
Sutter	12	24.6	2.83	1.14	300

Career totals *plus 197 wins
