Major League Baseball had their MLB Awards event tonight and that just means that the Awards for Cubs center fielder Pete Crow-Armstrong just keep rolling in. Tonight Crow-Armstrong was named the winner of the Hank Aaron Award for the National League. The Aaron award goes to the best offensive performers in each league. Astros designated hitter Yordan Alvarez won the award for the American League.
In addition to winning the Hank Aaron Award tonight, Crow-Armstrong was also named as the center fielder
fof First Team All-MLB team. Cubs third baseman Alex Bregman was named as the third baseman for the Second All-MLB Team.
The Hank Aaron Award is decided by a vote by a panel of Hall of Famers as well as a fan vote that accounts for 30 percent of the totals.
Crow-Armstrong becomes the fourth Cub to win the Hank Aaron Award, which has been handed out annually since 1999. Sammy Sosa won the inaugural award in 1999. Aramis Ramírez earned the award in 2008 and Kris Bryant took home the trophy in 2016.
So far, Crow-Armstrong has taken home the Hank Aaron Award, a Gold Glove for center field, the Platinum Glove, First Team All-MLB honors and The Sporting News’ Player of the Year Award. There’s only one more award to come, as well all expect him to be named the National League Most Valuable Player by the BBWAA tomorrow.
