Andrew Miller of the New York Yankees is the recipient of the 2015 Mariano Rivera American League Reliever of the Year Award, Major League Baseball and presenting sponsor The Hartford announced today. The announcement was made at a press conference before Game 2 of the World Series.
The 30-year-old Miller (60 G, 3-2, 2.04 ERA, 61.2 IP, 33 H, 20 BB, 100 SO, 0.86 WHIP) converted 36 of his 38 save opportunities (an AL-best 94.7%) in his first season as a Yankees player. The 6'7" left-hander posted an AL-best 14.59 strikeouts per nine innings in 2015 and limited opponents to a .151 batting average. He became the first pitcher in franchise history to convert his first 24 save chances (from April 8th-August 6th), according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
