The former Red Sox star still wants to demonstrate that he can perform in the role that made him one of baseball&#8217;s most feared relievers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Part of Kimbrel&#8217;s desire to continue could be rooted in building his Hall of Fame case.

Despite missing time with a knee injury that year, he finished with 31 saves. His 2017 season was considerably better: Kimbrel posted a 1.43 ERA with 126 strikeouts in 69 innings while recording 35 saves.<\/p>\n<p>The following season, he reached another milestone by recording his 300th career save.
