Canizales Wins Award for TEX Dominance Monday, October 5th , 2026 Tulsa Drillers reliever Jesus Canizales said he loves to come into the game when the outcome is in jeopardy. He certainly did a good job of impacting his team's outcomes this season, as he has been named the winner of the 2026 Reliever of the Year for the Texas League. "There's no better feeling than running in from the bullpen with the game on the line and your heart pumping," Canizales said. On the season, the Valera, Venezuela native had 8 saves in 36 relief appearances, 56 strikeouts in 40.1 innings and a record of 4 wins and no losses to go with his 1.12 ERA. He received 7 first place votes out of a possible 8. Alfredo Moreno of the Tulsa Drillers finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while Sergio Guzmán of the San Antonio Missions finished third.
