RELIEVERS: Rest of season projected top skill sets

Just out of the break with a look at rest-of-season projections with a look at relievers who hit these filters: (1) reliever, (2) at least 20 IP projected, (3) K%-BB% projected at 20% or higher, and (4) K%-BB% in the season so far at 20% or higher--with a couple exceptions (that will be noted).

From that, we get 25 relievers with worthy skill sets (plus two more sneaking in there). Breaking them into smaller groups, let's first separate those with at least 10 saves projected and a K%-BB% greater than or equal to 30% and otherwise meet the filter criteria. There are four:
