Paul Sewald reached 100 career saves on May 27, 2026, becoming the latest reliever to join the century club during the Arizona Diamondbacks' 3-2 victory over San Francisco at Oracle Park. The milestone represents a decade of major league service since his 2017 debut.
Sewald's career path has taken him through multiple organizations, beginning with four seasons with the Mets from 2017 through 2020. He appeared in 125 games during his New York tenure before joining Seattle in 2021, where he spent parts of three seasons and appeared in 172 games. A mid-2023 trade brought him to Arizona, where he appeared in 20 games that year and 42 games in 2024. He spent time with Cleveland and Detroit in 2025, appearing in 18 and 4 games respectively, before returning to Arizona in 2026.
Across his MLB career as a whole, Sewald has appeared in 405 games with a 22-30 record, 494 strikeouts, and a 4.10 ERA over 417.3 innings pitched — figures that span six organizations.
The save came during Arizona's narrow victory at Oracle Park, with Sewald continuing his role as the team's closer this season.
Sewald could reach 500 career strikeouts this season, needing just six more to achieve that milestone. The 100-save milestone marks 10 seasons of major league service across six organizations.
