Red Sox reliever Hideki Okajima was honored today as baseball's top setup man in MLB.com's annual This Year in Baseball (TYIB) Awards, as voted on by fans.

Okajima had a minuscule 2.22 ERA in 69 innings of work this season as batters hit just .202 off the rookie lefty. He had 63 strikeouts and just 17 walks in his 66 appearances.

Okajima joins Josh Beckett (top starter), Jonathan Papelbon (top closer), and Clay Buchholz (top performance) as Red Sox TYIB winners for the 2007 season.
