Even though Miller is a reliever, one Major League Baseball insider believes Miller could win the National League Cy Young award.
“He’s a Cy Young candidate, I have got to be honest. It is not easy to win a Cy Young from the bullpen. Nobody has done it in I think over 20 years,” MLB reporter Jon Heyman said, per Bleacher Report.
The Padres are currently second in the National League West, behind only the mighty Los Angeles Dodgers . San Diego holds a 15-7 record on the season.
“They are an exciting team, the fans love it and Mason Miller is a huge part of that,” Heyman said.
Miller has a 0.00 ERA on the season with 27 strikeouts. He also has recorded eight saves so far on the season for San Diego.

Padres hope that Mason Miller can help lead them to glory
The Padres are used to making the postseason in recent years. San Diego though hasn’t been able to push through and win a NL pennant. Padres fans hope this is the year that San Diego can finally achieve that goal.
It won’t be easy as the Padres as well as every other NL team have to get through the Dodgers. The Dodgers are back-to-back World Series champions. San Diego is also in the same division as Los Angeles , which also makes it hard to win.
Miller is having an outstanding season though. If his numbers continue, he will absolutely be considered for the NL Cy Young.

“Best stuff of any closer in baseball…..there’s no doubt that Mason Miller is the best closer in the game,” Heyman added.
The Padres play a game on Tuesday against the Colorado Rockies . San Diego enters the contest with nine wins in their last 10 games.
