We're still waiting to hear who won Major League Baseball's Cy Young award this season, but we now know the winners of one of the league's highest honors for relievers.

Oakland Athletics closer Liam Hendriks and Milwaukee Brewers right-hander Devin Williams were named recipients of the Reliever of the Year award on Saturday.

Hendriks posted a 1.78 ERA, 0.671 WHIP and 37 strikeouts in 25.1 innings. The 31-year-old is set to become a free agent after the 2020 campaign comes to a close.

Williams became the third straight Brewers pitcher to win a Reliever of the Year award after Josh Hader took home the award in back-to-back seasons in 2018 and 2019. He posted a 0.33 ERA with 53 strikeouts in 27 innings.
