The 'National League saves leaders since 2000' quiz

Bullpen arms have been a popular commodity on the free agent market this MLB offseason, with Edwin Diaz going to Los Angeles and Ryan Helsley heading to Baltimore. Now, another big name is on the move with 2025 National League save leader Robert Suarez joining the Atlanta Braves on a three-year, $45 million contract

Suarez has four MLB seasons under his belt and was an All-Star in each of the last two campaigns for the San Diego Padres. To go with his NL-best and 40 saves in 2025, Suarez struck out 75 batters in 69 ⅔ innings with a 2.97 ERA. 

Which brings us to today’s quiz. How many of the players to lead the National League in saves each season since 2000 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
