Louis Varland was named the BBWAA’s American League Reliever of the year on Wednesday.

Varland got 16 first-place votes and finished with 146 points to top Cade Smith (seven firsts, 133 points) and Bryan Baker (six firsts, 111 points). The remaining first-place vote went to Josh Hader, though he still finished fifth behind Aroldis Chapman. Varland posted a 1.27 ERA in 78 innings and saved 35 games after replacing Jeff Hoffman as Toronto’s closer last season. Smith and Baker both had six more saves apiece, but Varland still seemed like the right choice here.
