Mason Miller wins American League Reliever of the Month

Mason Miller only needed one month — really, a couple weeks — to ascend from hidden gem to national treasure.

Following one of the most dominant and electrifying runs by a reliever in recent memory, Miller was named the American League’s Reliever of the Month for April, the first of potentially many times the 25-year-old will take home the honor.

Miller finished baseball’s first full month with a 1.26 ERA with 29 strikeouts to four walks across 14 1/3 innings, recording eight saves in eight opportunities.
