Riley's 1st, 2nd for Albies and 3rd in a row for Freeman. A shame Acuna got hurt. That's going to be a yearly thing for him if he stays healthy.
Look at past winners. Goldscmidt, Helton, and Pujols are tied with 4 for the most for a 1B. Freeman has a decent chance to get there in his career. Chipper only won it twice somehow. And Barry Bonds is the overall leader by winning it 12 times. LMAO
Pujols took away one season, and ol' pal Vinny getting to hit in Coors took away another two chances.
One of the funniest stretches for any postseason award comes from this category - during an 11 year stretch, a Pitcher that spent time in Atlanta won the award 10 times. Glavine in 1995, 1996, and 1998, Smoltz in 1997, Hampton from 1999 through 2003, and Jason Marquis in 2005.
Maybe they should have given Leo the title of Assistant Hitting Coach.
