Mason Miller leads the San Diego Padres with 1.17 era

Summary

San Diego Padres pitcher Mason Miller is currently posting a 1.17 ERA over the 2026 season. Miller, acquired via trade for Leo De Vries, recorded 34 saves while maintaining a 113:21 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Despite allowing two home runs in recent appearances against the Pittsburgh Pirates and Tampa Bay Rays, he currently leads the league in reliever ERA. The right-hander has increased his innings pitched compared to his 2023 rookie season with the Athletics. He aims to secure the Trevor Hoffman Award as the National League's top reliever. The Padres bullpen, supported by Adrian Morejon, Bradgley Rodriguez, and Yuki Matsui, remains a core component of the team's late-inning strategy while Jason Adam and Jeremiah Estrada recover from injuries.
