Billy Wagner

A seven-time All-Star and one of the most dominating closers in Major League history, Billy Wagner spent the first nine years of his standout 16-year MLB career with Houston, posting 225 saves and 694 strikeouts in 464 games with the Astros. Wagner was selected by Houston in the first round of the 1993 draft, and within four years became Houston’s shutdown closer at the Major League level. He set an Astros single-season franchise record for saves in 1999 (39 saves), before topping his own club-record mark in 2003 with 44 saves. In 1999, Wagner finished fourth in the NL CY Young Award race.
