RELIEVERS: 20%+ K%-BB% projections and 20%+ K%-BB% so far

The past few columns have been about roles. This column focuses on skills--specifically, who has a projected K%-BB% at 20% or higher, and who has given us a K%-BB% at 20% or higher the first two weeks. You won't be surprised that there are a fair number of designated closers on this list. If we break this into bite-sized chunks, the first chunk are these higher skills relievers who are projected for 20 or more saves:
