The San Diego Padres<\/a> are just 4-5 so far in the 2026 MLB season. While the team has been rather mediocre, star closer Mason Miller<\/a> has performed at an elite level. Miller has been pitching at a high level for years now<\/a>, of course. He recently accomplished a feat<\/a> that had never previously been seen in MLB history, according to Codify.<\/p>\n

\u201cMason Miller has struck out 53 batters in his last 24 regular season games while allowing NO runs. That\u2019s the first time a pitcher has done that in all of recorded baseball history,\u201d Codify shared on X, formerly Twitter.<\/p>\n

Miller has yet to allow a run across four outings in 2026. As mentioned, San Diego has earned four victories this year. Miller has recorded a save in each of those contests.<\/p>\n

There were previously rumors that suggested Miller could move to the starting rotation. However, Miller made it clear that he is focused on his closer role<\/a>. It seems as if remaining in the bullpen is his best option.<\/p>\n

Could Miller find success as a starter? Sure. After all, he pitched to a 3.78 ERA across 10 outings (six starts) in 2023 with the Athletics. He has since become a full-time reliever, and Miller is now the best closer in all of MLB.<\/p>\n

The Padres are still looking to find overall consistency as a team this year. At this point, they are almost guaranteed to win any game they hold a lead in heading into the ninth inning. That is something that will surely boost the Padres\u2019 overall confidence.<\/p>\n

Mason Miller and the Padres will look to earn their fifth victory of the season on Monday night against the Pittsburgh Pirates.<\/p>\n
