Aroldis Chapman has picked up his 399th career save recently, contributing to his impressive track record. With two more seasons likely under his belt, Chapman has the potential to move into the top five all-time Red Sox closers. Currently, only a few pitchers have achieved 500 saves, with Rivera and Hoffman leading the pack with 652 and 601 saves respectively.
Chapman has consistently delivered outstanding performances for the Red Sox, amassing 32 saves in each of his two Boston seasons. His 2025-2026 seasons show a 1.57 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 12.2 K/9, and a 2.9 BB/9, highlighting his exceptional skills. If he continues to perform at this level, Chapman could rise further on the all-time Red Sox closer list, possibly reaching the top ten.
