Many closers failed to remain consistent for multiple seasons, but Billy Wagner was able to be one of the game’s most effective Relief Pitchers for a dozen years. Coming up through the Astros system he would win in the closer’s job for Houston in 1997 and two years later he went to his first All-Star Game. That season (1999) he had 39 Saves with a WHIP of 0.777 and was tenth in bWAR for Pitchers, an incredible accomplishment for a Relief Pitcher. 2000 was bad for Wagner but he rebounded to have seven more 30 Save seasons over years with Houston, Philadelphia, the New York Mets, and Atlanta. Overall he recorded 422 Saves and was an All-Star seven times.
