Good morning!
Raise your hand if you had Brandon Eisert on your bingo card as the first Chicago White Sox pitcher to log a save for the team in 2025. Nobody? It'd be difficult to blame you; after all, it took a rain-shortened win over the Twins on Thursday to get there.
Eisert is twenty percent of the way towards becoming an entry on this quiz: White Sox pitchers since 1990 to record at least five saves over the course of a season. As this quiz will demonstrate, there are a variety of guys to do so, some of whom will surely make you go, "That guy got five saves!?". In all there are 61 names: how many can you get? Good luck!
Quiz Parameters
- I've allotted 10 minutes for completion attempts.
- For hints, I've provided the year and the number of saves.
Useless information to amaze, annoy, confuse, and/or confound your friends and family:
- The highest ERA of the pitchers on this list is 5.97 (6.54 FIP!), coming in 2005.
- The lowest ERA is 0.81 coming in 2020. If you want to exclude that due to small sample size weirdness, then next best is 1.58, in 2003 (11 saves).
- The highest K/9 of the pitchers on this list is 14.3, in 2021.
