Lahti-Da In 1985, Part 2

So now we come to Jeff Lahti's big numbers of 1985. The St. Louis Cardinals part-time closer that year impressed.

Okay, so Jeff only had 19 saves? But he only had 20 opportunities! And that's a save percentage of 95%! Lahti also got six holds for the Cards. While the rest of his numbers aren't so terrific, his 1.84 ERA is.
