Better Closer?
-
I know Goose & Wagner are fire, but who is the better closer between 99 Mariano Rivera and 99 Kenley Jansen?
-
Jansen for sure. Not even close.
-
Also check out Dibble and Britton. If you want a really cheap but decent option, go pick up Robb Nen.

Rivera no question for me, right now i have 4 very reliable closers. Rivera, Gossage, finest Hader, and finest Liam Hendricks. I'm also really liking Denis Eckersley.

Thanks. They’ve been out for a while and they’re going for basically the same price, so just thought I would get some feedback.
-
Both have been really good for me though so i don't think you can go wrong between the two.

Thanks. I have Liam too. Gonna try to get Eck & Hader in those RIB packs.

They're very similar but I prefer Kenley.

I prestiged all the Finest relievers and some of them are fun....but there are so many great reliever options now, it really comes down to preference/confidence using.

Yes! Robb Nen has been in my bullpen since May or June I think. His splitter will hit 92 or 93 mph which is somewhat rare for that pitch.
I know he's not a household name yet, but the Cody Heuer reliever card (94 rating, Postseason card), has been perhaps the most dominant relief pitcher I've ever used in this game. He's a 6'5" righty with an over-the-top release point with what seems like miles of downward angle on every pitch he throws. His 4-seam fastball will hit 100 mph, but his sinker is even harder at 101 mph.

Yes Heuer is a beast
