Best fits: Cleveland Guardians, New York Mets, Philadelphia Phillies

Best Fits: Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays, Los Angeles Dodgers

A two-time National League Reliever of the Year, Diaz is among the more overpowering closers in MLB, hitting the high 90s with his four-seamer and making hitters look silly with his slider.
