EDGE Analysis
The southpaw was his usual dominant self, firing eight of 11 pitches for strikes. Hader has yet to allow a run or blow a save in 2022, posting a 10:2 K:BB through his first seven innings, and he's 41-for-42 on save chances since the beginning of last season.

Hader picked up his sixth save of the season in Wednesday's victory over the Orioles.
EDGE Analysis
The save was Hader's sixth of the season and third since Sunday. Hader has been a fantasy force early on, as in addition to tying for the league lead in saves, Hader has not allowed a run and has given up just two hits while posting a 9:2 K:BB over six innings.

Hader earned a save against Pittsburgh on Tuesday, tossing a perfect ninth inning while striking out one.
EDGE Analysis
Hader was very efficient Tuesday, throwing six of his nine total pitches for strikes while striking out one and keeping the Pirates from reaching base. The save represents his fifth of the season, converting all five opportunities he's had. Due to his low pitch count Tuesday, it's very likely he'll be available out of the bullpen if needed again Wednesday.

Hader clinched the save Sunday against the Cardinals after tossing a scoreless ninth inning, striking out two.
EDGE Analysis
The star reliever delivered a clean inning to record the 100th save of his career. Hader has been outstanding to begin the year, going 4-for-4 in save chances while striking out 40 percent of the batters he's faced. He owns a 3.0 K/BB and should remain one of the most dominant relievers in the National League as long as he remains healthy.

Hader earned a save against Baltimore on Wednesday, pitching a scoreless inning during which he walked one and didn't notch any strikeouts.
EDGE Analysis
Hader wasn't as dominant as usual Wednesday, as he threw only six of 12 pitches for strikes and didn't collect any punchouts. Still, the left-hander collected his third save in three chances and didn't allow any hits. Hader has yet to give up a run this season and looks to be on his way to another campaign as one of the game's elite closers.

Hader struck out two in a perfect ninth inning to earn the save in Sunday's win over the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
Hader wasn't needed in the first two games of the season since the Brewers dropped each matchup, but he was sharp in his 2022 debut. He gave up a deep flyout to Yan Gomes with one out, but he struck out each of the other two batters he faced while throwing eight of his 14 pitches for strikes. The southpaw converted 34 of 35 save chances last year and enters the 2022 season as one of the best closing options in baseball.

Hader agreed to an $11 million contract with the Brewers on Tuesday to avoid arbitration, Robert Murray of FanSided.com reports.

Hader allowed a hit and a walk while striking out one in a scoreless ninth inning to earn the save against Atlanta in Game 1 of the NLDS on Friday.
EDGE Analysis

Hader walked one and struck out one in a scoreless inning to earn the save in Saturday's 2-1 win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis

In that span, he's allowed six hits and 10 walks while striking out 29. For the season, the southpaw is 34-for-35 in save chances with a 1.29 ERA, 0.86 WHIP and 94:24 K:BB across 55.2 innings.
