Bryce Harper: Wins NL MVP Award
Harper was named the 2015 NL MVP by the Baseball Writers' Association of America on Thursday, MLB.com reports.
Analysis:
Most fans saw Harper as the only logical winner, and that was reflected in the voting, as Harper was the unanimous choice with all 30 first-place votes. Harper exploded with a .330/.460/.649 slash line in 2015, leading the NL with 42 homers and finishing second with 124 walks. A case can be made to take Harper, who is younger than NL Rookie of the Year Kris Bryant, with the first overall pick in drafts in 2016.
