Gonzalez Named Top Reliever for IL: The Indianapolis Arrows got more than they expected out of Gio Gonzalez in 2022.
At the age of 37, there were questions about whether or not Gonzalez could still compete at a high level, but those questions were answered emphatically as he has won the International League Reliever of the Year.
On the season, the Hialeah, Florida native recorded 19 saves in 61 relief appearances and threw 93 innings. He recorded 126 strikeouts and 21 walks, while posting an opponent's batting average of .201.
He received 14 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Tim McKnight of the Pawtucket Red Sox finished second in voting, while Curt Hardy of the Lehigh Valley IronPigs finished third.
