A reliever for his entire career with the Kansas City Royals Kelvin Herrera worked his way through the bullpen and by 2014 he established himself as the seventh inning Pitcher for the team. Herrera excelled in this role and was gold as a setup man for the team and his contribution to the organizations back-to-back World Series appearances cannot be discounted. Herrera’s post-season record for Kansas City was 2-0 with a 1.26 ERA and he was a two-time All-Star for the team. He would later be named the closer and he recorded 57 Saves for KC.
Herrera would assist the Dominican Republic in winning the World Baseball Classic in 2013.
