Despite the team's struggles overall, the Angels maintained high stability in its closer role with Jansen posting 29 saves - tied for 8th in the league - to come within two of Lee Smith (478 career saves) for third place on the all-time leaderboard. It's clear Father Time has not caught up with the veteran closer just yet, as his age-37 campaign was a resounding success. Jansen's 2.59 ERA was his best mark since 2021, while his 0.95 WHIP was his best since 2017 and a top-20 mark among qualified relief pitchers. He also posted the third-highest Game Leverage Index at 1.90 while producing the 2nd-highest fly ball rate at 59.1 percent. The future Hall of Famer appears to have plenty left in the tank and should easily take over third place on the all-time saves leaderboard. Now set to spend his 17th MLB season in Detroit, the right-hander will likely begin 2026 as the team's closer, moving Will Vest and Kyle Finnegan into setup roles. Read Past Outlooks
