Trevor Bauer voted NL's Most Outstanding Pitcher in player choice awards
Trevor Bauer was voted the National League’s Most Outstanding Pitcher in the Players Association’s Player Choice Awards, the MLBPA announced Thursday.
Bauer received a $5,000 grant to direct to charity as a part of the award after he bested finalists Yu Darvish (Chicago Cubs) and Jacob deGrom (New York Mets). Players voted for the awards in mid-September.
It should be a fruitful awards season for Bauer, who is the favorite to win the NL Cy Young, which is announced in mid-November. The Reds are one of four franchises that have never had a Cy Young winner. Johnny Cueto finished runner-up in 2014.
