Fantasy Impact
Lewis sported a stellar .262/.364/.437 slash line with 11 home runs, 28 RBI, and five stolen bases over 206 at-bats for the upstart Mariners in 2020. He's on track to be the first Mariner to win the award since Ichiro Suzuki way back in 2001. Cristian Javier posted a solid 5-2 record, 3.48 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and a 54:18 K/BB ratio over 54 1/3 regular season innings and also pitched well in the postseason for Houston. Luis Robert, who was the prohibitive favorite entering the season, finished with a .233/.302/.435 batting line to go along with 11 home runs, 31 RBI, and nine stolen bases after a rough September. The winner will be announced on November 9th.
