Wrapping up the 2021 Superlative Voting

It’s almost here. We are now, when you’re reading this, give or take 24 hours from Opening Day. (Or maybe it’s like, July and you just found this on Google months from now. If so, hello. Glad the Earth is still habitable.) We have spent the past three days doing some community votes for a few preseason superlative predictions, specifically voting for team MVP, best pitcher, defensive wizard, most surprising player, most disappointing player, and the unsung hero. Now, we reveal the staff votes as well as who you all, the readers, selected.

Team MVP

Community: Xander Bogaerts (52%)

Matt, Bryan, Jake K.
