Good morning, Birdland!
Only 14 players become finalists for the Hank Aaron Award, seven in each league. The award is given out annually to the player in each league that is determined to be the best hitter that season. Cedric Mullins has an opportunity to win for 2021.
It serves as another reminder of the season that Mullins put together. Despite a minor slump to end the season, his final line remains impressive. He hit .291/.360/.518 with 30 home runs, 37 doubles, and 30 stolen bases. He had an OPS+ of 135. It very well may have been the best season ever by an Orioles centerfielder.
