Eugenio Suárez finally broke through with his first home run in 13 games yesterday during the Cincinnati Reds‘ 11-4 thumping of the San Francisco Giants. Suárez has 3 RBIs in his last 2 games and despite missing 16 games earlier this season, he is now leading the National League in that category. While Suárez likely won’t receive any votes for NL MVP, he should.
The National League has a plethora of talented position players and a couple pitchers who could take home this year’s MVP trophy. Javier Baez, Nolan Arenado, Freddie Freeman, and Matt Carpenter have all received MVP hype this season.
