Of all the categories this year, this is likely the one with the most obvious of winners. I need not draw you a picture, I presume. But this is still a worthwhile endeavor, even if the outcome seems almost certain. Don’t forget, it’s an honor simply to be nominated, and there are going to be four other players who get on to the ballot. This category is open to both position players and pitchers, and the SnakePit has previously shown themselves to be more amenable to giving it to pitchers than the BBWAA. They haven’t given MVP to a pure pitcher since Clayton Kershaw in 2014.
