Edwin Diaz can't wait to hit again, as long as the pitcher isn't throwing too hard

With a 100-mph fastball and the most saves in MLB in 2018, Mariners closer Edwin Diaz has certainly made a name for himself in the first half of this season as one of the most dynamic pitchers in all of baseball. With the Mariners' propensity for one-run games, Diaz has become vital to the team's success.

Still just 24 years old, Diaz has already had a number of memorable moments in his big league career. We wanted to get to know the right-hander a little better, and take some time to reflect on some of the most memorable moments thus far in his big league career.
We also asked the fearless closer what scares him off the field, and where the Laker fan Diaz thinks LeBron James will go this summer. (You can probably guess).
