Episode 5 explores the Hall of Fame Case for relief pitcher Billy Wagner. Billy pitched in 853 games over 16 seasons, all of them in relief. He retired with 422 saves which is 6th best all time. A 7 time All-Star, his advanced stats compare favorably with Mariano Rivera and Trevor Hoffman however Wagner struggled in his post-season appearances posting a career post-season ERA of 10.03. Will that impact his Hall of Fame chances?
