1905 MLB Award Winners

AL MVP: Murray Gunnell, 2B, New York Yankees - 7.1 WAR, .362 wOBA, 143 wRC+, 10.0 ZR
NL MVP: Kevin Kramer, SS, Atlanta Braves - 7.7 WAR, .328 wOBA, 119 wRC+, 24.2 ZR
Two dark horses win the MVP awards this year. Gunnell was a 1st round draft pick in 1904 out of Pepperdine and took the league by storm, winning both the MVP and Rookie of the Year. Kramer has been in the league since its inception and was the starting shortstop on the 1900 champion Twins. He has always had exemplary fielding but added a bit of offense this year to push him over the top.

AL Top Pitcher: Celio Cabedo (5), RHP, Boston Red Sox - 7.2 WAR, 1.61 FIP, 60 FIP-, 4.0 K/BB
NL Top Pitcher: J.P. Avila (5), LHP, Pittsburgh Pirates - 7.6 WAR, 1.91 FIP, 72 FIP-, 3.4 K/BB
These two were a little less dominant this year. Cabedo dealt with elbow tendinitis and just barely squeaked past Shemar Myrie for the top AL pitching spot. Avila had a stronger hold on Pitcher of the Year but a few of the top hitters caught up to him for overall MVP.

AL Rookie of the Year: Murray Gunnell, 2B, New York Yankees - 7.1 WAR, .362 wOBA, 143 wRC+, 10.0 ZR
NL Rookie of the Year: Chris Keleher, LF, Colorado Rockies - 4.5 WAR, .351 wOBA, 130 wRC+, 6.0 ZR

AL Reliever of the Year: Tim Beckman, RHP, Toronto Blue Jays - 6.3 WPA, 0.94 FIP, 36 FIP-, 4.3 K/BB
NL Reliever of the Year: Luis Navarro, LHP, San Diego Padres - 5.2 WPA, 1.58 FIP, 60 FIP-, 3.2 K/BB
