Major League Baseball (MLB) annually honored its bestrelief pitcher with theMajor League Baseball Delivery Man of the Year Award from 2005 through 2013. It was initially part of a sponsorship agreement between MLB and package delivery companyDHL Express; DHL's sponsorship ran from 2005 to 2010.[1][2] There was also aDelivery Man of the Month Award. From its inception in 2005 through 2008, the award was given to a single reliever who was selected online by fans from a group of 10 finalists chosen by an MLB panel.[3][4] The panel took sole responsibility to select the annual winner starting in 2009.[3][5]

Mariano Rivera was the only pitcher to win the annual award more than once, receiving it in 2005, 2006, and 2009. The award was discontinued after 2013, replaced by theReliever of the Year Awards.[6]
