Nationals' manager confirms that Koda Glover is the team's closer

Washington Nationals manager Dusty Baker confirmed on Wednesday night that Koda Glover is the team's closing pitcher.

What It Means:

Baker said he was working Glover into the role slowly, but he made the move official last night after Glover turned in a perfect ninth inning in the Nationals' win over the Seattle Mariners.

Glover has a 2.57 ERA, 3.38 SIERA, 20.0 percent strikeout rate, 3.6 percent walk rate and 1.00 WHIP through 16 games (14 innings pitched) in 2017.
