In a win over the Diamondbacks, the Astros’ closer notched his milestone in just his 507th relief appearance, making him one of only 41 pitchers in MLB history to reach 250 saves in that many outings. Even more impressive? He’s one of just six left-handed pitchers ever to accomplish this feat. Since joining the Astros in 2024, Hader has been lights out, converting 94% of save chances and posting a jaw-dropping 0.70 ERA since returning from biceps tendinitis. His dominance isn’t just about quantity — among pitchers with 250+ saves and 500+ appearances, he leads in WHIP and batting average against, and ranks second in ERA and strikeout rate. At this pace, 400 saves might not be far off — and Hader’s consistency through injury makes him a true modern legend.
