Cain also earned a nod for Best Offensive Play with his pennant-clinching run in Game 6 of the American League Championship Series against the Blue Jays. On that play, Cain raced home from first base in just 10.47 seconds, according to Statcast™, to score the go-ahead run and send the Royals to the World Series for the second straight year.
Alex Gordon is also nominated for Best Offensive Play thanks to his clutch game-tying home run in the ninth inning of World Series Game 1 against the Mets. Gordon's solo shot off closer Jeurys Familia sent the game into extra innings, with the Royals winning in the 14th.
