WEST SACRAMENTO, Calif. — A’s right-handed pitcher Mason Miller has been named to the All-MLB Second Team as a relief pitcher. Miller is one of three rookies selected to All-MLB teams this season, and one of just nine rookies to have won since the inception of the honor.

Miller collected 28 saves this season, setting the A’s rookie record. He compiled a 2.49 ERA in 55 relief appearances and struck out 104 batters in 65.0 innings in his first season in relief. Miller was named to his first American League All-Star Team and also earned The Sporting News AL Rookie of the Year honors.

Miller’s 104 strikeouts ranked second among Major League relievers and were tied for sixth most by a reliever in Athletics history. His 14.40 strikeouts per nine innings were the highest mark in the majors and in A’s history among all pitchers with 40 or more innings pitched. Nearly half of his 1,024 pitches were 100 miles per hour or more (510), and he led Major League rookies and tied for ninth among all pitchers in saves.

The All-MLB First and Second Team selections were determined by a combination of fan voting and voting from a decorated panel of media members, broadcasters, former players and other officials throughout the game. Each player named to the All-MLB First or Second Team will receive a trophy to commemorate his selection.
