However, as a senior, he began to develop his pitching skills and played three seasons in the minors before making his MLB debut in 1999. More about Joe Nathan

Over his 16-year MLB career, Joe Nathan played for several teams, including the San Francisco Giants, Minnesota Twins, Texas Rangers, and Detroit Tigers. He was a six-time All-Star and twice finished in the top five in Cy Young Award voting. He ranks eighth all-time in career saves with 377, is one of just ten pitchers in MLB history to average more than one strikeout per inning pitched, and holds a career ERA of 2.87. Nathan's success on the field was the result of his exceptional pitch repertoire, which included a fastball, curveball, and slider that consistently fooled opposing batters.

Nathan's most successful season came in 2009 with the Minnesota Twins, where he led the American League with 47 saves and a 2.10 ERA. He was a crucial member of the team, helping them reach the post-season for the fifth time in his career. Nathan also excelled in the Rangers' run to the World Series in 2011, recording two saves and a win in the ALCS. While injuries hindered his performance in later years, Nathan continued to pitch until his retirement in 2017, leaving a lasting legacy and a superb record as one of the game's top closers.
