Voting is still open as I begin writing, but given the margin currently enjoyed by Justin Martinez, I feel fairly optimistic he’s going to be able to hang on. For he currently has received 79% of the votes. And that’s despite me managing to inadvertently leave his name off the ballot initially! Fortunately, I got a heads-up and was able to rectify the error. Now, that’s still less of a consensus than last year, when Corbin Carroll became, I think, the first entirely unanimous winner in SnakePit Award history. But it’s still impressive, especially for a relief pitcher - the first winner from there since Yoshihisa Hirano in 2018.
