Andres Munoz Leads Mariners with Eight Saves

Seattle Mariners closer Andres Munoz has delivered a dominant start to the season, maintaining a perfect ERA through at least his first 13 appearances and notching nine saves, tied for second-most in the majors. Munoz has been nearly unhittable, boasting a WHIP under 0.85, striking out 17 batters, and holding opposing hitters to a very low average. He has become a crucial part of a heavily utilized Mariners bullpen, often relied upon in close games and consistently closing out victories. Munoz's continued excellence follows his All-Star campaign last year and has made him the team leader in bWAR so far this season. The Mariners' bullpen, led by Munoz, has been instrumental in the team's success and is set to receive reinforcements with the upcoming return of Matt Brash. Munoz's performance has made him a standout among American League relievers and a must-start for fantasy managers.
