The New York Yankees are on the brink of advancing to the ALCS after a tight 3-2 victory over the Kansas City Royals. Right-handed reliever Luke Weaver has been pivotal, earning saves in both of the Yankees' wins in the ALDS.

Weaver's performance in Game 3 was particularly impressive, managing to secure a five-out save despite facing significant pressure. He has emerged as the Yankees’ most reliable high-leverage reliever since taking over the closer role.

Despite his success, Weaver remains humble, stating he doesn't see himself as a traditional closer. His journey has been tumultuous, but his recent mechanics adjustments have led to a notable increase in performance this postseason.
