Jerry McDonald has been with the Bay Area News Group for more than 30 years, with a heavy concentration of NFL football since the Raiders returned to Oakland in 1995. His all-time favorite athlete is a right-handed pitcher at Division III Linfield College in Oregon.
The Giants Camilo Doval and the Athletics’ Mason Miller are two of the most dominant closers in Major League Baseball.Since transitioning from starter to the next big thing among Major League Baseball closers, the Athletics’ Mason Miller has watched others who have reached the peak of their craft.“He’s electric,” Miller said Wednesday before the A’s departed on a 10-game road trip that includes stops in Seattle, Houston and Kansas City.
When Miller thrived during an East Coast swing that included trips to Baltimore and New York, his star ascended to greater heights. After striking out four batters in two innings in a non-save situation Wednesday against the Rangers, Miller’s earned run average dropped to 1.10. He’s also 8-for-8 in save opportunities.He has thrown 109 pitches of 100 miles per hour or more this season and 22 of 102-plus, both of which lead the majors.
A spotlight follows Giants’ closer Camilo Doval to the field on April 23 at Oracle Park. Shae Hammond/Bay Area News Group “They’re similar in that their stuff is electric, but it’s different,” Stripling said. “Camilo is more twitchy and elastic. You watch him, and his hips are gone, and his arm is just along for the ride. Mason is more big and in your face with his strength. But as far as the electricity of their stuff, it’s exactly what you want in the back end of the bullpen.”
