Neal Grabs AHS Reliever of the Year Award Tuesday, June 14th , 2022 Joe Neal was a calming influence out of the Miami Christian High School Victors bullpen this season.

The Lauderhill, Florida native won the award with 4 saves in 15 relief appearances, 24 strikeouts in 18 innings and a record of 1-0 to go with his 0.00 ERA.
