Like many awards in MLB, this election was largely driven by vibes. Acuña was plenty good in September, with a 192 wRC+ and 1.6 fWAR in 119 PAs... but he was outhit by a handful of guys, including Rafael Devers (206 wRC+) and teammate Matt Olson (204 wRC+), and finished seventh in fWAR for the month.
