Timeline
Robb Allen Nen (born November 28, 1969) is an American former Major League Baseball right-handed relief pitcher.
He spent most of his career as a closer.
He is the son of former major league first baseman Dick Nen.
He currently works in the Giants' front office as a special assistant to General Manager Farhan Zaidi.
Nen was selected by the Rangers as a pitcher in the 32nd round of the 1987 MLB draft.
Nen would continue to be a dominating closer for the Marlins, racking up a total of 108 saves and establishing himself as one of the elite closers of the 1990s.
Nen pitched for the Florida Marlins (1993–97); in 1997, Nen won the World Series championship with the Marlins.
Nen has 314 career saves with the Marlins (1993–1997; 108 saves) and Giants (1998–2002; 206 saves).
He was 8th overall in career saves when he retired, and stands 25th overall as of September 13, 2023.
He attended Los Alamitos High School and played varsity baseball with future UCLA Bruins outfielder Rob Katzaroff and future Giants Gold Glove-winning first baseman J. T. Snow.
Nen played mostly at third base, and also did some pitching.
He skipped college and went directly to the minor leagues.
The Rangers promoted him to their Major League roster in 1993.
His partial season with the Rangers was marred by injuries and subpar results on the mound, resulting in a 6.35 earned run average.
Nen started one game for his new team and finished the 1993 season with a disappointing 7.02 ERA.
The following season, the Marlins moved him to the bullpen in an effort to reduce the frequency of his arm injuries.
Nen flourished in his new role and became the Marlins' new closer that year.
He finished the strike-shortened 1994 season with 15 saves and a 2.95 ERA.
During the 1997 postseason, Nen pitched in eight games, including two saves in the World Series, as well as 1 2⁄3 innings of scoreless relief in the 9th and 10th innings of Game 7 while the Marlins came back in the last inning, and subsequently won the World Series in the bottom of the 11th.
Throughout the 1997 playoffs, Florida didn't lose a single game in which Nen made an appearance.
In a controversial move, the Marlins held a "fire sale" in which they traded away most of their high-caliber players in favor of gaining prospects and utilizing many of their minor league players, all while keeping their team payroll low.
On November 18, 1997, Nen was traded to the Giants for Mike Villano, Joe Fontenot and Mick Pageler.
Nen was expected to fill in the closer role, a role recently vacated by Rod Beck, who left via free agency to the Chicago Cubs.
If Beck had set the bar high for a San Francisco closer (199 saves in his 7-year tenure with the Giants), Nen would raise the bar.
His first year yielded 40 saves with a 1.52 ERA and 110 strikeouts in 88 2⁄3 innings.
He also played with the San Francisco Giants (1998–2002), with whom he was a three-time All-Star and played in the 2002 World Series, and the Texas Rangers (1993).
As a Giant, Nen was selected to three All-Star Games (1998, 1999, 2002) and finished 4th in voting for the 2000 National League Cy Young Award and 12th in the NL MVP voting (the award went to teammate Jeff Kent), both high honors for a closer.
The following year, Nen led the National League with 45 saves.
The 9th inning was affectionately renamed the "Nenth" by fans.
The Giants, the National League wild card team, and the Anaheim Angels, the American League wild card team, played a seven-game series in which Nen earned two saves.
Behind the pitching of starter Russ Ortiz, the Giants appeared to be cruising to an easy 5–0 victory in the critical Game 6 of 2002 World Series and their first World Series title since 1954 (when they were still the New York Giants).
In the seventh inning, however, Ortiz ran into trouble and was relieved by Felix Rodríguez.
Rodriguez then gave up a three-run home run to the Angels' Scott Spiezio.
The Angels tacked on another run in the eighth with a lead-off home run by Darin Erstad.
After two more runners reached base safely in the eighth, Nen came in to relieve Tim Worrell and try to protect what was now a shaky one-run Giants lead.
But Nen was unable to shut down the Angels' surge and gave up a two-run double to eventual series MVP Troy Glaus, which put the Angels ahead by one run.
They hung on to win the game, and won the series following a win the next day.
Nen pitched with full awareness that he was likely jeopardizing his career and remains admired by Giants' fans for his self-sacrifice.
It was, in fact, his final appearance.
