Chicago Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong and Houston Astros DH/OF Yordan Alvarez were named unanimous winners of the Most Valuable Player award in their respective leagues Thursday night.
Crow-Armstrong, 24, earned all 30 first-place votes for the National League MVP behind his monster season at the plate, on the bases and in the field. Four-time MVP Shohei Ohtani was second in the voting, and Milwaukee Brewers second baseman Brice Turang was third.
Alvarez, 29, topped Tampa Bay Rays third baseman Junior Caminero and Kansas City Royals shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. in the AL voting to capture his first MVP after a season in which he nearly won the triple crown.
