It was a triumphant return to form for Ketel Marte. Five years after his first victory in the category, Marte takes home his second SnakePit MVP award. This was even more emphatic than his 2019 one. There, he received 72% of the votes, and at time of writing he currently sits on 89%, with nobody else getting more than a token nod. Hard to argue with that conclusion, by average WAR, he was worth close to three wins more than any other member of the Diamondbacks. He finished third in the league MVP voting, might have been second if the team had made the playoffs, and if it hadn’t been for the four weeks he was all but out of action, might have challenged Shohei Ohtani for first.
