the last part of a performance, collection, or series

the perfect closer to the album

the last episode was still a great closer

a person who is skilled at bringing a business transaction to a satisfactory conclusion

this role will best suit closers who are hungry to make commissions

a reliable relief pitcher who enters a game in the final innings, typically to preserve a slim lead

he could develop into a big-league closer

one of the game's highest-paid closers
