Bryce Harper, Phillies (17 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Bryce Harper, Phillies:This was the season Phillies' fans have been waiting for. In the third year of his 13-year, $330 million contract, Harper recorded the second-highest Fangraphs WAR (fWAR) of his career at 6.6, behind only the 9.3 mark he posted in his 2015 NL MVP winning season. He led the majors in OPS (1.044) and wRC+ (170), and his 16.7 percent walk rate was the third-best. His 35 home runs were the sixth-best in the NL. Harper also added 13 stolen bases. Juan Soto, Nationals: The mo...

Shohei Ohtani, Angels (30 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Blue Jays: If it weren't for the next guy on this list, Guerrero would have been the runaway favorite for AL MVP. He posted an impressive .311/.401/.601 slash line, netting him the majors' second-highest OPS at 1.002, and he was tied for the MLB lead with 48 home runs. He walked an impressive 12.3 percent of the time and struck out only at a 15.8 percent clip. On top of all that, he was also on the field all the time, as only two players tallied more plate appearances t...
Winner
Corbin Burnes, Brewers (12 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Corbin Burnes, Brewers: It was a major breakout campaign for Burnes in Milwaukee. He wrapped up the 2021 season with a 2.43 ERA and a 1.63 FIP that were both the lowest in the game. He combined overpowering strikeout stuff (MLB-best 35.6 percent strikeout rate) with pinpoint accuracy (t-third-best 5.2 percent walk rate) and held opposing hitters to a meak .199 batting average. Baseball Savantlisted his barrels per plate appearance at 1.8 percent, the lowest in the majors. The only knock on Bu...

Robbie Ray, Blue Jays (29 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Gerrit Cole, Yankees:Cole has continued to look every part the ace the Yankees wanted when they signed him to the nine-year, $324 million megadeal ahead of the 2020 season. In his first full season with the Yankees after the COVID-shortened 2020 campaign, he pitched to a 3.23 ERA with a 2.92 FIP in 181.1 innings of work. His 33.5 percent strikeout rate was the best in the American League. He totaled 5.3 fWAR, which was good for the second-best mark in the AL, behind only Nathan Eovaldi of the...

Jonathan India, Reds (29 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Dylan Carlson, Cardinals: There was much ado made over the 22-year-old stars Tatis, Soto and Guerrero— and obviously it is all warranted — but Carlson made his mark in 2021 as another impressive 22-year-old in 2021. He filled an important role with the Cardinals as he launched 18 home runs and stole a pair of bases while slashing .266/.343/.437. He finished his rookie season with a 2.8 fWAR. Jonathan India, Reds: The Reds called up the 2018 No. 5 overall pick to start the season, and he did n...
Winner
Randy Arozarena, Rays (22 of 30 first-place votes)
Finalists
Randy Arozarena, Rays: It was hard to imagine Arozarena topping his historic 2020 postseason performance, but he continued to establish himself as a star in 2021 with his full rookie season. He posted the only 20/20 season among rookies as he hit each mark exactly, and his .274/.356/.459 slash line led him to a .815 OPS, the best among qualifying AL rookies. Arozarena also checked in at the 72nd percentile in outs above average, per Baseball Savant, as he split his time between the two corner...
Finalists
Craig Counsell, Brewers:If Brewers' fans had been told Christian Yelich would continue his downward spiral and hit just nine home runs and steal nine bases in a full season, they wouldn't feel great about their 2021 chances. But Counsell helped the Brewers defy the odds, win the NL Central and finish with the third-best record in the NL. The Brewers had 2.0-plus fWAR seasons from five different batters and three pitchers, Burnes, Brandon Woodruff and Freddy Peralta, turned into perhaps the le...
Finalists
Dusty Baker, Astros:The Astros might have reached the postseason in five straight years, but they were coming off a 29-31 campaign in 2020 and were set to have a challenging 2021 after losing ace Justin Verlander to Tommy John surgery and George Springer to free agency. Baker had no problem leading Houston to the AL West crown — and eventually a pennant, though voting was done before the postseason. Baker managed a patchwork rotation into having the 10th-best collective fWAR in baseball, and...
