Most Relief Appearances, No Games Finished in a Season

This post is kind of a reverse of yesterday. In that post, I looked at pitchers who had the most games finished without a save. In this post, I want to look at relievers who never managed to finish a game during the year. I would guess the list is probably made up of nondescript middle relievers and/or lefty specialists, but the occasional late-season call-up might sneak on as well.

A lot of the players on the list started some games during those seasons, but this simply looks at their relief appearances. It's not surprising part-time starters litter the list because they tend to shift into long relief roles in the bullpen when they aren't in the rotation.

Obviously, John Rheinecker and Arnie Munoz led the AL and NL, respectively, in 2007.
