History of Bullpen MVPs: Rare Wins, Big Payouts
Taking home the World Series MVP award is one of the most distinguished honors a baseball player can receive. In the history of the Fall Classic, there have been 72 MVPs named, and out of those 72, pitchers have taken home 29 of them, which is the most by a position. However, most of those pitchers secured the award early in the sport's history, as only six pitchers have won it since 2000, and two of those wins came in the same season.
Now, out of those six winners since 2000, none were relief pitchers, which means the last reliever to win World Series MVP was Mariano Rivera in 1999. Rivera is one of only four relief pitchers to win the award, as John Wetteland, Rollie Fingers, and Larry Sherry conclude that list. These facts lead to the question of when the next time a relief pitcher will win this esteemed award, and what they need to do to secure it.
For Rivera, he went 1-0 with two saves and three strikeouts in 4 ⅔ innings. While those numbers are certainly solid, in today’s game, they would likely not be enough to win the award. In 2022, Astros closer Ryan Pressly recorded two saves and struck out five over five innings of work, yet it was shortstop Jeremy Pena who took home the MVP by hitting .400.
This is not to say that a relief pitcher will never win the award again, but the stars must align perfectly. That said, bettors can always look to place a small future bet on the top relief pitcher of the team they expect to win, especially since the odds should be favorable. In 2024 alone, the Yankees and Dodgers' closers had (+20,000) odds to win the MVP for the series.
