Mason Miller News
Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller continued to solidify himself as the team's go-to ninth-inning option in Wednesday's 6-3 win over the visiting St. Louis Cardinals, picking up his fourth save of the season to protect the victory. Miller allowed a leadoff walk to Ivan Herrera but quickly settled in to retire the next three batters, striking out two. After giving up two runs in his first appearance of the 2024 campaign, the fire-balling 25-year-old right-hander has rattled off eight consecutive scoreless frames in the month of April and now owns a 2.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP with 17 punchouts over nine innings overall (seven appearances). The A's aren't going to win very many games this season, but Miller's current pace suggests there is a pathway to the neighborhood of 25-30 saves if he maintains a grip on Oakland's closing job and doesn't get shifted back to the starting rotation.
Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller picked up his third save of the season on Sunday in a 7-6 victory over the Washington Nationals. Miller looked dominant in his inning of work, striking out all three Nationals he faced. The 25-year-old was consistently touching triple digits while also mixing in a nasty slider, a combination that is looking lethal early in the season. Even though he pitches for Oakland, he is a must-roster player at this point. If he is somehow still available in your league, grab him now and have fun watching him do his thing.
Oakland Athletics closer Mason Miller tossed a perfect ninth inning against the Texas Rangers on Thursday to pick up his second save of the season. The electric right-hander threw 13-of-16 pitches for strikes and picked up two punchouts in the process. Save opportunities may not be plentiful in Oakland this season, but Miller still possesses elite strikeout upside with worthwhile ratios. He will be a useful fantasy reliever this season and has the potential to accomplish a lot more in dynasty formats.

Oakland Athletics pitching prospect Mason Miller showed flashes of electricity in his big-league debut in the 2023 season before a UCL injury sidelined him for four months. Miller returned for six September outings before his season ended with a rock-solid 3.78 ERA and 27.3% K% with an average fastball velocity of 98.6 mph in 10 appearances, only four of which were true starts. Given his lengthy injury history and limited work in the minors, A's management is moving Miller to a relief role for the 2024 season. With Trevor May retiring this offseason, Miller could potentially step into the closer's role for the A's given how powerful his arm is. While closing for the rebuilding A's isn't exactly fruitful, May did lock down 21 saves last season, good for 23rd in the league despite missing time early due to anxiety. Miller currently sports a 240.30 ADP as the 91st pitcher off the board, a little early considering his new relief role and non-guaranteed closer's spot. Managers would be wise to keep an eye on the situation in spring training before pulling the trigger on Miller, especially that early.
