Surprising stat could see Art Warren as the Cincinnati Reds closer in 2022

Art Warren was traded from Seattle to the Cincinnati Reds prior to last season. He made his debut in 2021 and led the team in strikeout-rate last year. Warren is a candidate to be the Reds' closer in 2022. The manager David Bell is unlikely to name a closer before spring training. Tejay Antone is the leading candidate for the job. Tony Santillan is another option. The players' union negotiations are still ongoing. It's possible that the new collective bargaining agreement will prevent the closer's job from being filled. If it's not, Art Warren will be given the chance to close games.
