Paul Sewald

Paul Sewald is one of baseball's best reclamation stories, a pitcher who struggled with the Mets and looked like a fringe arm before reinventing himself into a lockdown closer in Seattle. I love that kind of arc, the player who tweaks his approach, leans into a nasty slider and rising fastball, and suddenly becomes elite in his thirties. His role in the Mariners' return to the postseason made him a fan favorite, and his calm demeanor in the ninth inning is the opposite of the wild-eyed closer cliché. He proves that persistence and smart adjustments can outlast raw prospect hype. A really likable late bloomer.

Paul Sewald (born May 26, 1990, in Las Vegas, Nevada) is an American professional baseball pitcher. A right-handed reliever who attended the University of San Diego, he reached the major leagues with the New York Mets before establishing himself as a dominant closer with the Seattle Mariners, later pitching for the Arizona Diamondbacks. He earned an All-Star selection in 2023.
