Most times this is right, but not always

For game generated drafts, I thought it corresponded with their statlines. As in, if the player gets enough HS/COL saves, they will be listed as a CL instead of just a RP, but that does not seem to be the case. It appears to be somewhat random. For the pool I was looking at, the best reliever was listed as a RP and he had 12 saves
It might just be a numbers thing. Of the 76 relievers, 11 were closers. This is about 15% of the total relievers. More importantly, it's almost exactly 1 of 7, which roughly lines up with a regular pen. If you have 7 relievers, that's a 12 man staff, and 1 of those is going to be a closer
