10/14/25 | [Last Word on Sports] - Padres Considering Moving All-Star Reliever to Rotation. The San Diego Padres were a juggernaut in 2025, thanks mostly to their lockdown bullpen, anchored by closer and setup man , who was from the Athletics. The Padres are now considering transitioning Miller to the starting rotation ahead of the 2026 season. General Manager A.J. Preller told "97.3, The Fan" on Tuesday that the Padres will have more communication with the players moving forward when asked about Mason Miller potentially moving into the starting rotation next year. Preller added that the team will be in touch in the coming weeks for that type of conversation.

The best part? Miller had a 26.7% K rate, which would play very well as a starter for years to come. Looking at his page, Miller has an arsenal that would play well as a starter, featuring a fastball, cutter, slider, and changeup, all with different breaking points that can fool hitters. Potential Problems With all the positives, there are two clear cautions to this move from the Padres’ perspective. The first concern centers on Miller’s health and workload. Given how hard he throws — routinely touching 102–103 mph — the added strain of pitching multiple innings per outing significantly increases the risk of arm fatigue or injury over a full season. This was precisely why the Athletics transitioned Miller to the bullpen in 2023 after his early starts, hoping to preserve his electric stuff by limiting exposure and pitch counts. The Padres must be cautious not to jeopardize his long-term durability by ramping up his innings too aggressively. The second issue relates to bullpen depth and late-game reliability. With reports indicating that Robert Suárez is likely to opt out of his contract and test free agency, San Diego could find itself without a proven closer if Miller shifts into a starting role. Losing both Suárez and Miller from the back end of the bullpen would leave a significant void, and the organization doesn’t currently have many internal candidates with closing experience or the elite velocity required to fill that role. The Padres may need to explore the free-agent or trade market to stabilize the ninth inning should they fully commit to Miller’s transition to the rotation.

9/30/25 | Flamethrowers rule mound as right-hander average 4-seam fastball reaches 95 mph. Flamethrowers have dominated the mound in the major leagues this year. The average four-seam fastball among right-handed pitchers has reached 95 mph for the first time. According to MLB Statcast, average velocity has increased for seven straight seasons. Reliever Mason Miller, traded from Oakland to San Diego in July, reached 100 mph with a big league-high 422 pitches. A study released by MLB last December concluded that rising velocities and maximum effort are likely causes of the vast increase in pitcher injuries. Home runs rose to 1.16 per game, while stolen bases and strikeouts per team per game dropped. Source: https://www.chron.com/sports/article/flamethrowers... |
