Boston Red Sox starting pitcher David Price and Atlanta Braves relief pitcher Jonny Venters have been named the American League and National League Comeback Players of the Year, according to Mark Feinsand of MLB.com.
After making just 11 starts in 2017 due to injury, Price returned in 2018 and was excellent, finishing 16-7 with a 3.58 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 177 strikeouts in 176 innings. Perhaps more importantly, he erased the narrative that he couldn't come up clutch in the postseason, going 3-1 this October with a 3.46 ERA and 1.15 WHIP as the Red Sox won the World Series.
