Mason Miller of the San Diego Padres is predicted by Jim Bowden of The Athletic to win the NL Relief Pitcher of the Year award. Miller has excelled this season, leading NL relievers with a 0.96 ERA and converting 32 of 33 save opportunities, with 102 strikeouts in 56 1/3 innings. While Jhoan Duran of the Philadelphia Phillies is recognized as a strong contender, analysts believe Miller's dominance sets him apart. The award is virtually conceded to Miller unless he experiences a remarkable downturn in performance.
