Story summary

Mason Miller, a star reliever for the San Diego Padres, has been crowned the unanimous Reliever of the Year by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. This is the first year the award was voted on, and Miller earned it after recording 38 saves in 2026, marking his best season yet since he began his career with the Oakland A’s in 2024. Last year, Miller had tied for the National League lead in saves with Riley O’Brien of the St. Louis Cardinals but fell short of the award due to a close vote. This year, however, he dominated with a 1.67 ERA and a 0.900 WHIP across 66 appearances, outshining competitors like Jhoan Duran from the Philadelphia Phillies (who received 24 second-place votes) and Trevor McGill of the Milwaukee Brewers (with only two second-place votes).
