Good luck hitting against Padres reliever Mason Miller these days. Good luck even making contact. In the expansion era (since at least 1961), only his teammate Jeremiah Estrada had recorded a longer streak (13 in 2024) of consecutive strikeouts.
The San Diego closer has started the 2026 MLB season with a 0.00 ERA, four saves, and 13 strikeouts on four appearances. Miller has continued his elite form with a 0.38 WHIP and a dominant 59.6% strikeout rate over his recent outings, showcasing his signature triple-digit fastball and high-whiff slider.
